Denmark's Social Democrats Win Most Seats in Election as Far-Right Support Collapses
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Denmark, Social Democrat Mette Frederiksen is poised to become prime
minister after her party won the largest share of votes in parliamentary
elections held Wednesday, with more than a quarter of ballots cast.
Frederiksen has promised to defend Denmark's social welfare programs and
has made combating climate change a priority. The far-right
anti-immigrant Danish People's Party saw its support plunge below 9%.
