Venstre, which formed a minority government with just 22 seats, polled strongly in an early Folketingelection held in January 1975, but was unable to remain in power; the Social Democrats then formed a minority government, and went on to recover much of their previously lost electoral support in the 1977 and 1979 Folketingelections.
Although the Center Democrats left the governing coalition in 1996, the Social Democratic Party remained in power until the 2001Folketingelection, in which the right-wing parties won a clear parliamentary majority.
The Danish People's Party and the Conservative People's Party gained two seats each, while the Social Liberals scored their best results in more than three decades and nearly doubled their parliamentary representation with a gain of eight seats.
