What are the ideological differences between the centre-right political parties? (leddit.danmark.party)

What are the ideological differences between the centre-right (Venstre, Conservatives, Liberal Alliance, Moderates) political parties? Is there a difference between the kinds of people they each attract? I guess Venstre voters tend be more rural, while Conservatives tend to be more urban, for example, right?

Is it possible that they ever merge into one centre-right party or are there too much differences between these parties? Which parties of these 4 is the least and most pro-EU?

(I know Moderates are not officially part of the right-wing bloc, but they seem to lean to the right ideologically, that's why I included them).

They are almost the same, in many countries they would be the same, like e.g. the republican party in the US or the conservative party in the UK - they have fractions ranging from far right all the way to the middle.

Some of the smaller details are:

Venstre - see themselves as a government party, it's an old party and classicaly founded in the rural farming areas. Willing to meet in the middle and negotiate almost anything. Not a protest party. Very pro EU.

Conservatives, also a government ready party, but not so much lately, another old party, classicaly founded in the richer areas north of Copenhagen, kind of a god, king and nation thing going on there. Not a protest party but trying to have some kind of egde I guess. Very pro EU.

Moderates, don't quite know how to describe them, it's mostly one guy Lars Løkke Rasmussen who had a fallout with his old party Venstre where he was kicked out, and through political magic and mastermind somehow ended up right back on top with his new party. They say they want to be a middle party and was founded on keeping the extremes (left and right) out of power, wants to be the king makers. Not a protest party. Very pro EU.

Liberal Alliance, more classic liberals (in the European sense) with focus on liberal virtues, lower tax, more individual freedom and responsibility etc. Still a young party, attracts young people and older people with a bit of money, many conservatives has gone here. Kind of a protest party but trying very hard not to be, wants to be government ready and probably will be. Pro EU but some skeptical thoughts.

Danmarks demokraterne, another Venstre spin-off, mostly one woman Inger Støjberg, basically Venstre but with harder immigration laws. Very much a protest party, not government ready. EU skeptical but not straight up exit.

I see no chance that they will merge as such, there is too much bad blood between Venstre and the spin-offs but some chanche they won't all survive like we just saw with Nye Borgerlige.

Notable about Liberal Alliance is that they recently accepted the former leader of Nye Borgerlige as a member. Nye Borgerlige is probably the closest Denmark has had to a serious "racist party".

Liberal Alliance seems to be a mix of many things, some classic liberals sure, but also it's fair share of exiled Nye Borgerlige and conspiracy theorists.

Their two main people (Alex Vanopslagh and Ole Birk Olesen) also recently made comments where one defended a businessman whose company is flooding a village with waste and one used the results of Muslim school children in the recent school election to demonstrate how the far-left is buying off the immigrants with handouts.

That's politics and opinions, and that's fine - LA is not everyone's cup of tea, and they don't need to be. I wanted to make a relative unbiased description of the parties.

Personally I'm not a fan of Pernille Vermund, but she seems to be willing to leave the right wing immigration policies behind to fit into the more liberal ways of LA.

Defending the businessman as you say, was the only logic and reasonable voice in politics on this topic, this businessman was just a passive owner, he did not run the company, he was not the CEO, not in the board, he simply bought a stake in the company that has been operating lawfully with all certifications in place, and it's a basic principle that as a passive owner you can maximum loose what you put in. The fact that our primeminister and many other politicians participated in a witchhunt because he is rich, It's just an embarrassment. Watch the latest episode of "tæt på sandheden" for a funny but still true view on it.
