The minority incumbent coaltion of [[w:Venstre (Denmark)|Venstre]] and [[w:Conservative People's Party (Denmark)|Konservative]] secured just enough votes to score a majority with the support of [[w:Danish People's Party|Dansk Folkeparti]] and stay on as the government.

Speculation about the results centered on whether the government would have had to curry the favor of new-comer, [[w:New Alliance (Denmark)|Ny Alliance]] who won 5 seats, to stay in power.
