Social Democrats appear headed back into power in Denmark
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — The Social Democrats emerged as Denmark's biggest party in elections Wednesday, with preliminary results indicating gains for left-leaning parties and a big loss for populists.

The Social Democrats got about 25.9% of the votes after a campaign in which party leaders vowed a tough stance against immigration.
Mette Frederiksen, the party's leader, said late Wednesday that the Social Democrats will try to govern as a minority rather than form a governing coalition with smaller parties.
