Abstract
Compared with continental Europe and Great Britain, Scandinavian Conservative parties play a relatively minor role in the political system. Taking the Danish Conservative party as an example, it has only during brief periods been the largest non-socialist party and it has — with the exception of the National governments in the beginning of and right after the Second World War — only twice held cabinet positions (1950–3 and 1968–71) and never the position of Prime Minister.
