The Danish Government operates as a parliamentary democracy, where the Prime Minister leads the executive branch. The government is formed by the political party or coalition that holds the majority in the Folketing, Denmark's national parliament. Denmark has a multi-party system, allowing various political parties to represent diverse views. The Monarch, currently Queen Margrethe II, serves as the ceremonial head of state, while the Prime Minister and the cabinet handle day-to-day governance and policy-making.
