THE DANISH DEMSOCS MIGHT BE THE BIGGEST PARTY IN DENMARK. The liberal fraction is still the biggest in Denmark however
is their foreign policy any good?
Shit I thought they were better, but looking at their website it says this:

A common European defense policy We live in a time when undemocratic regimes commit war crimes and spread misinformation. We live in a time when we can once again risk Trump taking the White House and becoming the first president of the United States. Where Putin believes he must resurrect the Soviet Union as a new superpower. Where Iran constitutes an increasingly aggressive force in the Middle East. And where North Korea tries to play with their muscles and play with their war toys. That is why it is crucial that Europe sticks together.
Europe is a strong community Denmark is a small country, but if we stand together with our European neighbours, in a solid community, we stand much stronger. There is a need to show the rest of the world that Europe holds together – that Europe is a strong community that fights for a free world supported by human rights, freedom and international law and order. SF believes that the EU’s defense policy must have a special focus on ensuring stability and peace in the EU’s neighboring countries. The EU is fundamentally a peace project, and it must also be the foundation for the EU’s foreign policy in the future.
European independence Together, we Europeans must strengthen cyber security and joint defense of critical infrastructure in Europe. We need European independence in energy, health, transport, food, defense equipment and digitalisation. In addition, we must ensure that the African countries in particular, qua the union, have a real alternative to their cooperation with China and Russia.
"It’s been two years since Russia launched a brutal attack on Ukraine. It is in difficult times that we must stand together in defense of our common values: Democracy, freedom, rule of law and human rights. The complete opposite of what Putin’s regime stands for.”

I’m not excited anymore. Enhedslisten (another DemSoc party) seems to have the same opinions as well.

Seems like the communist party is the only good option in Denmark., but they are too small to participate in elections yet
unfortunately, basically every “democratic socialist” (kind of a red flag, implying that socialism isn’t inherently democratic) party in the West seems to be closer to socdems than communists
