Danish PM-elect:Ready to form 3-party govt

Denmark\'s Prime Minister-elect Helle Thorning-Schmidt said on Sunday she had agreed with political allies to form a three-party coalition government after winning an election two weeks ago, Reuters reported. Thorning-Schmidt, leader of the Social Democrats, said she had completed a policy programme for the new \"Red bloc\" centre-left alliance. \"It is a government programme that will bring Denmark out on the other side of the (economic) crisis,\" she said on TV2 News as she arrived at parliament house, Christiansborg, to brief her parliamentary group. \"With this programme we can modernise Denmark.\" Thorning-Schmidt, 45, who will be Denmark\'s first female prime minister, has plans to kickstart economic growth by investing in education and infrastructure to create more jobs. She has promised not to make life for one of the world\'s most heavily taxed people even more expensive, and to balance the budget by 2020. After a decade of centre-right rule, the new coalition will consist of Thorning-Schmidt\'s Social Democrats, the Socialist People\'s Party and the Social Liberals. The alliance unseated Liberal Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen in the Sept. 15 election. Thorning-Schmidt said she would inform Queen Margrethe later on Sunday that she was ready to form a government, and she would unveil policies and new ministers on Monday. The government will rely for parliamentary support on the far-left Red-Green Alliance party, which made strong gains in the election but was not included in the coalition.
