Thanks for explaining, but like Kirsten, I still find it a little confusing.
When we vote here, we can choose to vote on a candidate, or on a particular party. No party will get the majority of the votes, so they have to work with usually two other parties to get anything passed. There are 179 seats, so the parties who has 90 seats together will have to negotiate to get anything passed.
To start a new party, in principle it takes 20,000 signatures, but the system is so heavy that in reality it takes more like 60 to 80,000 signatures.
This will explain it a bit more detailed and you can see which parties we have: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_Denmark
