Over the last four years, the Alliance has been able to put forward and defend left-wing positions inside and outside parliament. Unlike the Socialist People's Party, which has no clear position on the European Union, the Alliance has been able to oppose tighter European Union integration on a left-wing, rather than nationalist basis.
Through specific cases, the Alliance has been able to question the more general lines of politics in Denmark. As well as the defence of refugees, unemployed, and the environment, Alliance MPs played a decisive part in exposing massive tax evasion by private corporations, and a banking scandal in the Faeroe Islands.
There has been some success in using parliamentary positions to reinforce struggles outside parliament, notably in solidarity with striking bus-drivers in Ejsberg. Reinforcing and developing this dual strategy will be a central part of the Alliance's work in the new parliament. *
