Danish legislative election, 1929

The 1929 Danish legislative election was held on 24 April 1929.
The incumbent government under Emil Marott, encompassing the National Social Democrats, Venstre and the Conservatives, suffered losses amidst a continuously stagnant economy. The opposition Social Democrats under Thorvald Stauning gained ground, along with their allies in the Social Liberals. Despite suffering a loss of their majority in the legislature, the Marott coalition government was renewed. An attempt by Stauning at forming a government with the Social Liberals and the Justice Party was rejected by King Christian X.
The continued growth of the Social Democrats can be seen as a sign of the failure of Marott's National Social Democrats to competently compete for the working class vote. Additionally the Social Liberals, under the new leadership of Peter Munch, showed success in regaining ground lost disastrously in the 1925 election. The election was the first in which the Justice Party had achieved the threshold for representation. The Communists were also able to gain strength, particularly among working class voters in Copenhagen, netting them an additional seat.
