Subject
Denmark's immigration impact.
Significance
Denmark's opposition Social Democrat party has adopted a hardened stance on immigration, reflected by its support for several populist policies implemented by the government. The party will use its toughening position on immigration as a campaign strategy ahead of Denmark's general election in 2019.
Impacts
Increased competition over the leadership of the incumbent Venstre party could undermine its chances of retaining power.
A Social Democrat government backed by the DPP would mark an unprecedented political realignment.
A government involving the DPP would be marked by popular protests and political instability.
