The Danish general election of 20 November 2001, held at the same time as the municipal and county elections, marked a turning point in Danish electoral history. Staunchly supportive of the welfare state, the three Scandinavian countries, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, have traditionally supported the Social Democrats - the largest party in all three countries since the 1920s. The election in Denmark broke this tradition. A massive swing to the main bourgeois party, Venstre (the Liberals), allowed the latter to overtake the Social Democrats and to secure a majority for the rightist parties for the first time since 1929 (Table 1)
