The other interesting thing about Denmark is that most parties are similar on immigration. Across the pond it's likened to a Social Democracy, but it's also a high-trust society with low crime rates.

Irrelevant. In this country, there is large ideological span. And allowing new parties a chance to succeed allows old, co-opted ones to die.
