Karsten Hønge (born 25 September 1958) is a Danish politician, who is member of the Folketing for the Socialist People's Party.
Until 2007 he was chairman of the Fynes chapter of the trade union TIB (Træ Industri Byg), who later merged with 3F.
In the public debate, Hønge was one of the first on the left wing to criticize Asmaa Abdol-Hamid from the Red-Green Alliance.
[4] His statements contributed to the resignation of party leader Annette Vilhelmsen and the departure of SF from the government a week later.
However, since he was also running for reelection to the Folketing at the general election 10 days later, he decided not to take his seat, who instead went to Kira Marie Peter-Hansen.
[8] In 2018, Hønge said to a number of media outlets, that he would leave the Folketing, if he were elected to the European Parliament.
[11] Several members of the Folketing later criticized SF and Hønge's decision, calling it to making fun of the voters and increasing the political alienation.
