The Danish Social Liberal Party (Danish: Radikale Venstre, RV, lit.'Radical Left') is a social-liberal[8] political party in Denmark.[3] The party was founded as a split from the Venstre Reform Party in 1905.[4][5][6][7]

Historically, the centrist[9][10] to centre-left[13] party has played a central role in Danish politics and has supported governments on both sides of the political spectrum, as co-operation is a primary belief of the party.[14] A pro-European party, it is a member of Liberal International and the ALDE, and has one MEP in the Renew Europe group in the European Parliament.
