[10][11] That same month, Members of the Folketing Peter Skaarup,[12] Jens Henrik Thulesen Dahl,[13] Bent Bøgsted,[14] and Hans Kristian Skibby[15] announced that they wished to join the Denmark Democrats.

Media commentators have described the party as deriving its name and policy ideas from the neighbouring successes of the Sweden Democrats.

[25] On its website and early policy brief, the party seeks to improve conditions for the elderly, young people, and small and medium-sized companies.

It also aims to combat what it describes as overbearing bureaucracy from the European Union (EU) on Denmark and wants to further decentralize power to regions outside of the capital.

[26] In an updated policy platform, the Denmark Democrats stated its objectives to be removing all EU influence on Danish pension, tax and maternity leave policies, tougher regulation on car leasing companies, tax deductions for workers who commute above certain distances, removing VAT on energy bills, changes to the Danish education system to encourage more vocational training, and reforms and cuts to Denmark's foreign aid and government funded arts budgets.
