politikernes

Politikernes is a Danish term that functions as the genitive plural form of politikere, meaning the politicians’." It marks possession or association and is used in Danish to refer to things belonging to or attributed to politicians as a group. In ordinary usage, politikernes may appear before a noun to indicate collective ownership or responsibility, such as politikernes løfter (the politicians’ promises) or politikernes beslutninger (the politicians’ decisions).

Grammatical notes: Danish forms of possession commonly add a genitive suffix, here -s, to the plural form politikere to yield politikernes. The construction can modify a following noun or appear in a standalone phrase to denote the group as a whole. Although it designates a specific group, its tone is neutral and depends on context; in journalism and analysis, it is frequently used to discuss accountability, policy positions, or public statements attributed to politicians as a collective.

Usage and context: The term appears across political discourse, news reporting, and academic writing in Denmark and in Danish-language media. It enables concise reference to the collective actions or opinions of politicians without naming individuals. In some contexts, politikernes may be contrasted with politikernes opponents, the public, or party-specific groups to analyze policy debates or shifts in stance.
