The prime minister of Denmark is the head of government in the Kingdom of Denmark comprising the three constituent countries:Denmark,Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Before the creation of the modern office,the kingdom did not initially have a head of government separate from its head of state,namely the monarch,in whom the executive authority was vested. The Constitution of 1849 established a constitutional monarchy by limiting the powers of the monarch and creating the office of premierminister. The inaugural holder of the office was Adam Wilhelm Moltke.
The Folketing,also known as the Parliament of Denmark or the Danish Parliament in English,is the unicameral national legislature (parliament) of the Kingdom of Denmark—Denmark proper together with the Faroe Islands and Greenland. Established in 1849,until 1953 the Folketing was the lower house of a bicameral parliament,called the Rigsdag;the upper house was the Landsting. It meets in Christiansborg Palace,on the islet of Slotsholmen in central Copenhagen.
Edmund Esbern Johannes Joensen is a Faroese politician,who was the Prime Minister of the Faroe Islands from 1994 to 1998. From 2015 to 2022 served as a member of the Danish Folketing,being one of two Faroese seats in parliament. He did not stand in the 2022 Danish general election and his granddaughter Anna Falkenberg replaced him as Member of the Folketing for the Union Party of which Joensen is a member.
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,Queen Margrethe II,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 1 November 2022,except in the Faroe Islands,where they were held on 31 October as 1 November was a national day of mourning for victims at sea. Of the 179 members of the Folketing,175 were elected in Denmark proper,two in the Faroes and two in Greenland. The elections were called on 5 October following an ultimatum to the government by the Social Liberals due to the outcome of a report on the 2020 Danish mink cull by the Mink Commission,which was critical of the government. Voter turnout was 84% in Denmark,48% in Greenland,and 71% in the Faroes,with a combined turnout of 84% for the realm as a whole.

The constituency currently elects 11 of the 179 members of the Folketing using the open party-list proportional representation electoral system. At the 2022 general election it had 371,085 registered electors.
The Moderates is a liberal political party in Denmark founded by former Prime Minister and current Minister of Foreign Affairs Lars Løkke Rasmussen. He announced the name in a foundational speech on 5 June 2021. At the same time,he said that his main scenario was that the party would be formed after the 2021 Danish local elections. The name was,according to Rasmussen,inspired by the fictitious Prime Minister Birgitte Nyborg's party Moderaterne in the hit political TV drama Borgen as well as the Swedish Moderate Coalition Party,the then–second largest party in the Swedish Riksdag. The Moderates' political position is referred to as centre to centre-right.
