The Conservatives retain their seat, while the Radicals are halved. According to the latest polling data from DR and TV 2, released at 8 p.m., it appears that the Conservatives will retain their seat in the EU Parliament, while the Radicals will be halved compared to the last election but still secure a seat. The Conservatives have maintained a stable support throughout the campaign, and the polling data confirms this trend. Mette Abildgaard, the party’s political spokesperson, stated: “I really hope that this holds true, and we end up with Conservative progress, of which we would be incredibly proud.” The party’s campaign has been led by lead candidate Niels Flemming Hansen, who is also a member of the Danish Parliament. For the Radicals, the election campaign has been marked by uncertainty, as they have constantly been on the cusp in the polls. Lead candidate Sigrid Friis expresses her excitement and hope for the final result: “It would be a completely fantastic feeling if I can call myself a member of the EU Parliament after the election.” Samira Nawa, deputy chairperson of the party’s parliamentary group, shares this excitement, but points out that the result is still on the margins. The polling data is based on interviews with voters at the polling stations and provides an indication of what the final result might look like. Therefore, the suspense is still high for both parties as they await the official election results.
