Venstre, full name Venstre, Danmarks Liberale Parti, is a conservative-liberal, agrarian political party in Denmark. Founded as part of a peasants' movement against the landed aristocracy, today it espouses an economically liberal, pro-free-market ideology.
General elections were held in Denmark on 8 February 2005. Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen's Venstre remained the largest party in the Folketing and his governing coalition with the Conservative People's Party remained intact, with the Danish People's Party providing the parliamentary support needed for the minority government. The Danish Social Liberal Party made the biggest gains of any party, although it remained outside the governing group of parties. The elections marked the second time in a row that the Social Democrats were not the largest party in parliament, a change from most of the 20th century. The Social Democrats lost five seats and leader Mogens Lykketoft resigned immediately after the elections. Voter turnout was 85% in Denmark proper, 73% in the Faroe Islands and 59% in Greenland.
The Liberal Alliance is a classical liberal and right-libertarian political party in Denmark. The party is a component of the centre-right bloc in Danish politics. The party's platform is based upon economic liberalism, promotion of tax cuts and reduction of welfare programmes, and a critical, oppositional stance towards European integration.

The politics of Denmark take place within the framework of a parliamentary representative democracy, a constitutional monarchy and a decentralised unitary state in which the monarch of Denmark, King Frederik X, is the head of state. Denmark is a nation state. Danish politics and governance are characterized by a common striving for broad consensus on important issues, within both the political community and society as a whole.
General elections were held in the Kingdom of Denmark on 18 June 2015 to elect the 179 members of the Folketing. 175 members were elected in the Denmark proper, two in the Faroe Islands and two in Greenland. Although the ruling Social Democrats became the largest party in the Folketing and increased their seat count, the opposition Venstre party was able to form a minority government headed by Lars Løkke Rasmussen with the support of the Danish People's Party, the Liberal Alliance and the Conservative People's Party.
Local elections were held on 19 November 2013 in Denmark's 98 municipal councils, contesting 2,444 seats for the 2014–2017 term of office, and in five regional councils, contesting 205 seats for the 2014–2017 term.

Varde was the municipality where the traditional blue bloc got the 4th highest % of vote share in the 2019 Danish general election. Venstre had won a majority of seats in 2009 and 2013, but had come one short in 2017, although they still had managed to find a majority that would support them holding the mayor position.
The 2017 election, resulted in Kasper Olesen from the Social Democrats becoming mayor, but not without drama. The election resulted in both the Social Democrats and the Conservatives winning 7 seats. This was while Venstre who had held the mayor's position in the period up to the election, only won 3 seats. They tried to have a majority behind them holding the mayor's position once again, however without luck. After many days of negotiations, they eventually opted for supporting Kasper Olesen for mayor. This was untraditional, since Conservatives and Venstre are in the same political bloc.
The Social Democrats have since the 2007 municipal reform held the mayor's position in Lolland municipality. They've always been the largest party by number of seats, however both them and Venstre had nine seats in 2014–2017.
