- Venstre ( It translates as Left but means Liberals in actuality) a A centre rightFreemarket Liberal Party which is tied to Agranianism.
- Radikale Venstre More accurately translated as Radical Liberals A centre Left Liberal Party
- Liberal Alliance centre party based on Economic Liberalism which is currently not a member of the European Liberal grouping.
As you can see in the Election the parties aligned them selves in Left Right fractions
The Red Alliance
of the Social Democrats ,Radikale Venstr.Socialist Peoples Party and Red-Green Alliance
The Blue Alliance.
The Blue Alliance.
of Venstre,Danish People's Party ,Liberal Alliance,Conservative People's Party, and Christian Democrats (Who dis not win any seats)
So although they lost a seat the Social Democrats led by Neil Kinnock's daughter in law will form a government because their alies the Left leaning Liberals andfLeft Red- Green alliance made gains
If I was a Liberal Democrat I would note not so much the presence of three Liberal parties in Denmark but the success of the Left leaning one as they own party under Clegg drifts further to the right asset out in the Orange Book then perhaps its a time to consider a move back towards the current Liberal Party after all its not just Denmark that has more than one and can the LibDems really contain those who are little more than Tories with a Coniscience and those who like Ffranc Sais still have a bit of radicalism in them.

Alas you are right and its not helped by our electoral system which means that the three main Parties are financed by donations from business who have them at their beck and call
