Socialist People's Party quits government

The Socialist People’s Party (SF) has pulled out of the ruling coalition government as a consequence of the DONG dispute and party leader Anette Vilhelmsen has resigned, reports Seven59.dk

Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt is now faced with the immediate problem of finding six new cabinet ministers and the long-term problem of ruling with a significant minority.
