Helle Thorning-Schmidt declared victory, telling her supporters "Today we've written history." She's set to become Denmark's first woman prime minister after a closely-fought campaign dominated by the economy. The defeated Prime Minister Lokke Rasmussen was seen to have done well to steer Denmark through the financial crisis, but the country's economic rebound is considered to have been sluggish. Mrs Thorning-Schmidt campaigned on a platform of tax rises and increased public spending and a plan to make everyone work 12 minutes more per day to kick-start economic growth.

赫勒·托宁·施密特(Helle Thorning-Schmidt)宣布获胜，告诉她的支持者“今天我们书写了历史”。在经过由经济主宰的激烈的竞争之后，她成为丹麦首位女首相。落败的首相拉斯穆森被认为在领导丹麦走出金融危机中做的很好，但是全国的经济复苏非常迟缓。赫勒·托宁·施密特竞选时提出增加税收，增加公共支出，以及要求每个人每天多工作12分钟来促进经济增长的计划。
