Some notes:
1 the red bloc includes the green party, Alternativet, why not have them in the graphic lol?
2 Great coverage of the mink scandal, you covered it better than most danes short term memory
3 the mink industry is beginning to reopen
4 They aren't called the social liberals, they are called radikale venstre. (radical left) stop misappropiating our names into english versions that no one uses
5 the reason the blue bloc lost is because of infighting. You mentioned lars løkke a former Venstre leader, but also inger støjbjerg who was a big name in venstre before she was sentenced with 2 months of prison/house arrest after abusing her minister powers to illegally seperate immigrant couples and later kicked out of parlament, she, like Lars løkke, formed her own populist party, appealing to rural areas and stealing votes from venstre. Moderaterne also took many votes from venstre. So they went backwards almost 50%. That combined with the conservative party running for stateminister challenging venstre weakened the blue blocs chances. The conservative leader, søren pape, also made racist comments about greenland, refusing to apologize and when he finally did apologize it was a weak half assed apology, done in a TV debate, used rethorically to make Mette Frederiksen apologies for the mink scandal. His party looked to become huge in the polls, instead he lost 2 seats.
The future is unsure, wether it will be a broad government or a left wing one. Most parties want multiple parties in government this time, compared to last election.
(also yes, racism is normalized in our country's politics, so if you wonder why so many scandals are about it, then its par the course for Denmark.)

@Google_Censored_Commenter Yes, racism in Danish politics, especially against people from greenland, is very normalized. The fact Søren Pape defended his racist remarks and never did a proper apology, and when he attempted one, he used it as a stunt on national TV against Mette Frederiksen shows that while taboo, its not really punished enough. No person in this country should be able to hold the racist opinions he holds if racism wasn't normalized to some extent.
Likewise all the hate against muslims in the country, and the fact we break UN human rights law, by discriminating against people of colour in certain neighbourhoods. We also try to copy the english Illegal Rwanda deportation policy, and the socdems and everyone right of them fully endorses it. So when over 50% of the electorate votes for and supports such blantant racism and human rights violations, then racism is quite normalized here.
