  Helle Thorning-Schmidt: 'We did it... today we've written history'

  With all votes counted, the bloc led by Social Democrat leader Helle Thorning-Schmidt had won a narrow majority in parliament.

  She is set to become Denmark's first woman prime minister. Incumbent Lars Lokke Rasmussen has admitted defeat.

  Ms Thorning-Schmidt had campaigned on a platform of tax rises and increased public spending.

  She also promised to roll back tough immigration laws proposed by a junior partner of the current coalition.

  The centre-left bloc won 89 seats in Denmark's 179-seat parliament against 86 for the centre-right. Turnout was high at 87.7%.

  "We did it... today we've written history," Ms Thorning-Schmidt told jubilant(欢呼的) supporters.

  Mr Rasmussen said he had called Ms Thorning-Schmidt to congratulate her, but added: "Tonight I hand over the keys to the prime minister's office to Helle Thorning-Schmidt. And dear Helle, take good care of them. You're only borrowing them."

  The "Blue Bloc" led by Mr Rasmussen has held power in Denmark for a decade.

  The country has seen its worst economic downturn since World War II. Although Denmark is a member of the EU, it has chosen not to adopt the euro.
