COPENHAGEN, Denmark ? Polls have opened in Denmark, where voters are expected to elect their first female prime minister and end 10 years of center-right rule.
Surveys released on election day showed Helle Thorning-Schmidt's left-leaning alliance kept its lead over Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen governing coalition.
For the past decade Denmark has been government by a minority center-right government relying on the parliamentary backing of the anti-immigration Danish People's Party.
They have pushed through a series of pro-market reforms and sharply tightened Denmark's asylum laws.
A power shift isn't likely to yield major changes, but Thorning-Schmidt wants to slap taxes on banks and wealthy Danes and dodge some of the austerity cuts planned by the government.
