Denmark's govt wins second term

Danes have given prime minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen a second four-year term, embracing his government’s pledge to keep immigration in check and taxes, among Europe’s highest, from rising.

Fogh Rasmussen is the first liberal prime minister in the Scandinavian country to win back-to-back terms, and after nearly all the votes were tallied in yesterday’s election, he said: “It’s one thing to win an election, but it’s more difficult to be re-elected.”
