The Danish government operates as a constitutional monarchy, where the monarch, currently Queen Margrethe II, serves as the head of state. The government is led by the Prime Minister, who is the head of government and is responsible for running the country. The Danish Parliament, known as the Folketing, consists of 179 members who are elected to represent the people and make laws. Denmark has a multi-party system, which means several political parties compete for power. The government is formed by the party or coalition that secures a majority in the Folketing. This system promotes collaboration and negotiation among different political groups to create effective policies for the nation.
