Danish voters go to the polls on November 13, 2007
According to the Constitution of Denmark, Denmark is governed according to the principle of negative parliamentarism, meaning that while a government doesn't need the majority of seats in parliament, it must never have a majority of seats against it in a vote of no confidence. Before the ongoing elections, this was relevant since the government, consisting of the Conservative People's Party and the Liberals did not have a majority of seats, but depended on the support of the Danish People's Party. ~ ref
As things stand the current government now depends on a fourth candidate, the recently formed New Alliance. A center party which opposes the xenophobic nature of the Danish People's Party. It is safe to say, that this quagmire is the cause of much concern for Denmarks current Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen. 
Why the Danish People's Party is the basis of much controversy in Denmark, is illustrated by its latest populistic campaign poster. A spin on the Danish cartoons controversy that states "Freedom of expression is Danish, censorship isn't - we adhere to Danish values".
Most Danes will however most likely concur with a recent statement issued by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem:
"The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem condemns the Danish People's Party for referring to the controversial caricatures in the election campaign.
In a press release the Grand Mufti called the Danish People's Party's use of the caricatures both »uncivilized« and »hateful«.
The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem is the highest religious authority for Muslims in the Palestinian self-government." ~ Politiken
To talk about something it is necessary to first identify what it is.
The Danish People's Party hardly represent any so called Danish values, values which at its core are liberal. To acknowledge this, one need only look at some of the members statements.
Hate Speech and Xenophobia of the Danish People's Party

»We should withdraw from UN Refugee Convention and we should block EU's Charter for Fundamental Rights which is directed against the Europeans. We must change the Alien's Law, and if need be we must change both the Danish Constitution and Penal Law so that it becomes possible to defend democracy and to send political-religious rebels, criminals and parasites out of the country. This is the final call.« ~ Horsens Folkeblad (daily newspaper), May 18, 2004
»All western countries are infiltrated by Muslims. Some of them talk to us nicely while they are waiting to grow in numbers and remove us.« ~ Speech at Danish People's Party's annual convention, September 16, 2001
»What we are facing with is not just a short term military operation. It is a question of driving this evil ideology out of the western civilisation. Islam should never get a place in our countries.« ~ Speech at Danish People's Party's annual convention, September 16, 2001

»Not in their wildest imagination would anyone [in 1900] have imagined, that large parts of Copenhagen and other Danish towns would be populated by people who are at a lower stage of civilisation, with their own primitive and cruel customs like honour killings, forced marriages, halal slaughtering and blood-feuds. This is exactly what is happening now. Thousands upon thousands of persons, who apparently - civilisationally, culturally and spiritually - lives in the year of 1005 instead of 2005, that have come to a country [Denmark] left the dark ages hundreds of years ago.« ~ Weekly Commentary, June 13 2005
Søren Krarup (1937-) - Priest, Member of Parliament for Danish People's Party (2001-)

On the other hand, where Islam rules, matters are related to a higher selfrightousness which logically culminates in an all consuming hatred and a scary urge to exterminate other people.« ~ Berlingske Tidende (daily newspaper), February 2, 2005
