    In the US there are 2 political parties

    In Denmark theres many more. The current government is 3 parties, and theres a total of 13 iirc, currently elected parties.

        Not in practice; in practice the US has a two-party system. In Denmark, governments are formed through coalitions of smaller parties agreeing to support someone in their bid to become prime minister. Danes don’t vote for the prime minister, or any minister, directly. Every single political decision is a compromise.
