The result means the country of 5.5 million residents will get a new government that could roll back some of the austerity measures introduced by Loekke Rasmussen amid Europe's debt crisis.

Even the Danes aren't immune to spend, spend, spend.

You would think watching Greece this week.......
oh well.

A power shift isn't likely to yield major changes in consensus-oriented Denmark, where there is broad agreement on the need for a robust welfare system financed by high taxes.

So rather than trying to bail themselves out, they going to scuttle SS Denmark?
