Thank you, but no thank you: SF will not sit at the edge of the table after the next election.

What is a royal investigator?
-------------------------------
Since 1909, there has been a tradition for royal investigators. Parties take turns in turn for the monarch, where each party points to a royal investigator.
The monarch then designates the one with the most mandates behind them as their royal investigator - that is, a negotiator who investigates the possibility of forming a new government.
The negotiator decides themselves which other parties to invite to negotiations. The negotiator does not necessarily have to become the prime minister, but this is often the case.

S to collaborate more closely with SF
-------------------------------
SF therefore hopes most of all that the Social Democrats will return to the red bloc after the parliamentary election, which is scheduled to take place in the fall. Party leader Pia Olsen Dyhr has clearly rejected going into a new center-right government with the Liberals and Conservatives. She has instead announced that she is open to ( https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/politik/sf-vil-gerne-i-regering-men-partier-er-fuldstaendig-udelukket ) sitting in government with both The Radicals and the Moderates.
Signe Munk, would you point to Mette Frederiksen as the royal investigator - as a candidate for prime minister - just as well?
- We have said very clearly what kind of government configuration we can see for ourselves. It is not a government where the Liberals and Conservatives can be part of. Because there will be too much given to the skewed tax cuts of the parties. There is too much blue politics. So it is the Social Democrats in a red government, says Signe Munk.
Parts of the social democratic backbench have recently demanded that the party go to the election on a red government, and in an interview with Weekendavisen, Mette Frederiksen has stated that she has ambitions for closer cooperation with SF.
She has yet to announce whether she will run again next year on a broad government with blue parties - or whether she will return to the red bloc.
Signe Munk, do you think that S is on its way back in a more red direction and back in a red government?
- It is the red government that must deliver on a more just pension system, better welfare in Denmark, cleaner environment for the next generations and peace for child families. This can be created in a red government, and therefore S should turn the gun towards the red cooperation to deliver on that, says Signe Munk.
