as a Scot i just want to warn you scandis in advance that in the event of scottish independence you guys should prepare for us inviting ourselves to all your nordic parties and assuming that we're all very close friends
we're probably going to try and pronounce your vowels and everything it's going to be painful to watch
e: your countries are pretty cool though, please don't descend into trumpism like the shitshow down south of us is currently trying to do
just give me some haggis, and im fine.

Nice effort post, but it's a little out of date.
Since no one else is going to do a write-up of Danish political parties, I might as well. In descending order of votes:
The Social Democrats, led by Helle Thorning-Schmidt, have taken a beating in recent years. They are however still the largest party in parliament. Their main ideological plank is getting into power, and being seen around famous people and powerful world leaders. Their main supporters are people hoping the party returns to what it was 30 years ago.
Their leader is now Mette Frederiksen, since HTS went to England after her defeat in June of last year.
The Red-Green Alliance is the primary party of left-leaning youths, attracted by the political memes Johanne Schmidt-Nielsen posts straight from parliament and Johanne herself. Has seen strong growth in recent years, due to the failures of traditional left-leaning parties.
Their leader is now Pernille Skipper. Well, leader is the wrong word since they're all a bunch of hippies, so it's called a "spokesperson" instead.
What is there to say? The Socialist People's Party chased the populist vote but couldn't keep up, and now the party is falling apart. Their voters will likely be subsumed into The Alternative as Denmark lurches more and more to the right.

Great badge of honor or greatest badge of honor?
On another topic, I wanted to talk a bit about parliament member Amineh Kakabaveh. A brief summary, courtesy of Wikipedia:
