'''Common Course''' ({{langx|da|Fælles Kurs, Arbejderpartiet Fælles Kurs}}) was a [[political party in Denmark]], which held 4 seats in the [[Folketinget|Danish parliament]] from 1987–1988.

'''Common Course''' (Fælles Kurs) was a political party in Denmark, which held 4 seats in the Danish parliament [[Folketinget]] 1987-1988. It was officially formed in [[1986]], but it was built on several fractions of the [[Communist Party of Denmark]] emerging in [[1979]] already. The party leader was [[Preben Møller Hansen]], leader of the Danish sailors' organization, who was excluded from the [[Communist Party in Denmark]] in [[1979]]. He was known for his outspoken way of expressing himself, using a lot of [[swearwords]], generalizations and [[anti-elitism|anti-elitist]] statements. The party itself gathered both communists and left-wing socialists, united in an inveterate struggle against EU membership. Its official immigration policy was quite restrictive, contrary to other parties on the left. It actively supported communist regimes in the [[Soviet Union]] and [[Cuba]] (later also [[North Korea]]) and colonel [[Gadaffi]] in [[Libya]] and was a collective member of organizations supporting these regimes.

At the elections in [[1988]], the party achieved 1,9% of the votes, thereby failing to pass the 2% threshold. In an attempt to regain parliamentary representation, Common Course started cooperating with [[Mogens Glistrup]]'s right-wing [[Prosperity Party]], causing many members to flee. The attempt failed, the party was dissolved in [[2001]], and members were recommended to join the [[Communist Party in Deanmark]] instead (member of the the [[Red-Green Alliance]] since [[1991]]).
