Lars Løkke Rasmussen (; 15 May 1964) is a Danish politician who has served as Prime Minister of Denmark since June 2015. He was previously Prime Minister from April 2009 to October 2011. He is the leader of the centre-right liberal party, ''Venstre''. Rasmussen has been a member of the Danish Parliament (Folketing) since 21 September 1994. He also served as County Mayor of Frederiksborg County from 1998 to 2001. Subsequently he was the Interior and Health Minister from 27 November 2001 to 23 November 2007 as part of Anders Fogh Rasmussen's first and second Cabinets, and then Minister of Finance from 23 November 2007 to April 2009 as part of Anders Fogh Rasmussen's third Cabinet. On 5 April 2009, he succeeded Anders Fogh Rasmussen as Prime Minister following the latter's appointment as Secretary General of NATO. In the September 2011 general election, the government lost its parliamentary majority, and on 16 September 2011, Rasmussen tendered the government's resignation to Queen Margrethe. He remained in office as head of a caretaker government until his successor, Helle Thorning-Schmidt of the Social Democrats, was appointed on 3 October 2011. Following the June 2015 general election Rasmussen's centre-right coalition gained the most seats in the Folketing and Thorning-Schmidt subsequently resigned as Prime Minister. Rasmussen again became Prime Minister and formed his second cabinet in the same month, consisting entirely of Venstre ministers. ==Early life== Lars Løkke Rasmussen was born in Vejle to Jeppe Rasmussen and Lise Løkke Rasmussen (née Løkke). His last name is Rasmussen, while Løkke, his mother's maiden name, is his middle name. Unless his full name is used, he is correctly referred to only by the name of Rasmussen, but his middle name is used frequently by the media and in informal usage to distinguish him from his two predecessors who shared the same last name. He graduated from high school in 1983, and was the president of the youth branch of Venstre from 1986 to 1989. He graduated with a law degree (cand. jur) from the University of Copenhagen in 1992. From 1990 to 1995 he worked as a self-employed consultant. Lars Løkke Rasmussen is married to Sólrun Løkke Rasmussen (née Sólrun Jákupsdóttir). Together they have three children.〔()〕 Lars Løkke Rasmussen is not related to his two immediate predecessors as Prime Minister, Anders Fogh Rasmussen or Poul Nyrup Rasmussen.〔According to Statistics Denmark, ''Rasmussen'' is the ninth-most common last name in Denmark: http://www.dst.dk/Statistik/Navne/pop/2009.aspx〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lars Løkke Rasmussen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
