Danes have given Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen a second four-year term, embracing his government's pledge to keep immigration in check and taxes, among Europe's highest, from rising. Fogh Rasmussen is the first liberal prime minister in the Scandinavian country to win back-to-back terms. Opposition leader Mogens Lykketoft earlier conceded defeat, calling the results "bad" for his Social Democrats. He said he would step down as the leader of the party that helped build the Scandinavian country's vaunted welfare state. With 99% of the votes tallied by elections officials, the governing bloc - a coalition of Liberals, Conservatives and the anti-immigration Danish Peoples Party - received 54% of the vote and was set to get 95 seats in the 179-seat Folketing, or parliament.
