Kingmaker Status in Danish Politics

Mette Frederiksen began forming a new coalition government after King Frederik nominated her.
Frederiksen's left-wing bloc has 84 seats, the largest since 1903 but short of 90 for a majority.
The Moderates hold 14 seats and will not join the Red-Green Alliance, giving them kingmaker status.
Denmark's government can form if not opposed by Parliament, but policy disagreements hinder coalition-building.
Pelle Dragsted will attempt to bridge gaps with the Moderates to avoid power going to Morten Messerschmidt.
