[[File:Pia Kjærsgaard (2014).JPG|thumb|upright|[[Pia Kjærsgaard]], member (and former leader) of the hard Eurosceptic party [[Danish People's Party]] (Dansk Folkeparti), the fifth-largest represented in the [[Folketing|Danish parliament]] and the fifth-most represented in the European Parliament]]

The [[People's Movement against the EU]] only takes part in European Parliament elections and has one member in the European Parliament. The soft Eurosceptic [[June Movement]], originally a split-off from the People's Movement against the EU, existed from 1992 to 2009.

In the Danish [[Folketinget|Parliament]], the [[Enhedslisten|Red-Green Alliance]] previously advocated withdrawal from the EU, but in March 2019, the party announced it would no longer campaign for a referendum to leave the EU, pointing to [[Brexit]] illustrating the need for clarity before withdrawal can be considered.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Hvass |first1=Jesper |last2=Rytgaard |first2=Nikolaj |title=Enhedslisten parkerer krav om dansk udmeldelse af EU efter britisk kaos |url=https://jyllands-posten.dk/indland/ECE11250051/enhedslisten-parkerer-krav-om-dansk-udmeldelse-af-eu-efter-britisk-kaos/ |access-date=15 March 2019 |newspaper=Jyllands-Posten |date=15 March 2019 |language=da}}</ref> The [[Danish People's Party]] also advocates withdrawal, but says it supports some EU structures such as the [[European Single Market|internal market]], and supported the EU-positive [[Cabinet of Anders Fogh Rasmussen I|Liberal-Conservative coalition]] between 2001 and 2011 and again from 2015 to 2019.

The [[Socialist People's Party (Denmark)|Socialist People's Party]], minorities within the [[Radikale Venstre|Social Liberal Party]] and [[Socialdemokratiet|Social Democratic Party]], and some smaller parties were against accession to the European Union in 1972. Still in 1986, these parties advocated a no vote in the [[1986 Danish Single European Act referendum|Single European Act referendum]]. Later, the Social Liberal Party changed to a strongly EU-positive party, and EU opposition within the Social Democratic Party faded. The Socialist People's Party were against the [[1998 Danish Amsterdam Treaty referendum|Amsterdam Treaty]] in 1998 and [[2000 Danish euro referendum|Denmark's joining the euro]] in 2000, but has become increasingly EU-positive, for example when MEP [[Margrete Auken]] left the [[European United Left–Nordic Green Left]] and joined [[The Greens–European Free Alliance]] in 2004.

In the [[2014 European Parliament election in Denmark|2014 European Parliament election]], the [[Danish People's Party]] came first by a large margin with 27% of the vote, gaining 2 extra seats for a total of 4 MEPs. The [[People's Movement against the EU]] polled 8%, retaining its single MEP.

In the [[2019 European Parliament election in Denmark|2019 European Parliament election]], the [[Danish People's Party]] lost around two-thirds of their previous vote share dropping from 4 seats to just 1. The [[People's Movement against the EU]] lost their seat and the [[Enhedslisten|Red-Green Alliance]] got one seat.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://election-results.eu/national-results/denmark/2019-2024/|title=National results Denmark &#124; 2019 Election results &#124; 2019 European election results &#124; European Parliament|website=election-results.eu|access-date=27 May 2019|archive-date=24 May 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190524113030/https://election-results.eu/national-results/denmark/2019-2024/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The [[2019 Danish general election]] saw the emergence of a new hard Eurosceptic party [[Nye Borgerlige]] which supports Denmark leaving the EU. The party won four seats in parliament.<ref>[https://nyeborgerlige.dk/politik/oekonomisk_plan/ nyeborgerlige.dk] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191019061758/https://nyeborgerlige.dk/politik/oekonomisk_plan/ |date=19 October 2019 }}.
