Political of Denmark

Denmark is a constitutional monarchy with a unicameral Parliament composed of 179 members, elected every 4 years. Officially the chief of state (since 1972) is the Queen Margrethe II. The royal family is very popular in Denmark and Danish people seem to show a sincere sympathy for it and identify it as a very strong national symbol.

It is worth to mention the high participation to voting of the Danes – 90%, which reflects a deep and active involvement in political decisions and a very responsible social and civil attitude.
