Aha! While trying to map the Danish political parties on the Dutch, I think I found out why the Kristendemokraterne ended up on my list. Ok, this is what I, from a first impression, think how they map:

Socialdemokraterne – PvdA
Det Radikale Venstre – D66
Det Konservative Folkeparti – VVD
Socialistisk Folkeparti – SP
Kristendemokraterne – ChristenUnie
Dansk Folkeparti – Wilders
Venstre – CDA
Enhedslisten – Groenlinks
Ny Alliance – Hmm, I find it hard to place this party. It considers itself a center party.

In Holland the ChristenUnie is quite a left-wing party (more than the social democrats) but with a christian touch. They always showed up on my advice.

The most interesting I find is Venstre who call themselves literally Left but are in fact right of the center, just like the Dutch christian democrats. I now understand that Venstre in Scandinavian politics is more often used as a term for liberalism than socialism.
