Denmark needs change, Denmark needs to move on and Denmark needs my leadership.

So yes, European decision making is not pretty. But it does work.

No, a euro referendum will not be part of a government programme if we get the chance to form one.

We are not jumping on the austerity bandwagon. A healthy economy is by far the most important thing for Social Democrats.

We can say farewell to 10 years of bourgeois rule... now we have the opportunity to change Denmark.

I feel like giving myself a pat on the back. We can create history tonight. We can bid goodbye to 10 years of (Liberal-Conservative) government which has ground to a halt, and get a new government and a new majority in Denmark.

Denmark needs change, Denmark needs to move on and Denmark needs my leadership.
