'''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''' ({{lang-da|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 factions of the [[Communist Party of Denmark]] which were planning the emergence of a new party as early as 1979. The party's leader was [[Preben Møller Hansen]], writer, cook, and leader of the Danish sailors' union, who was expelled from the [[Communist Party of Denmark]] in 1979. He was known for his outspoken way of expressing himself, frequently using [[swearwords]], making broad 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]], [[Cuba]], and [[North Korea]], as well as Colonel [[Muammar al-Gaddafi]] in [[Libya]], and was a collective member of organizations supporting these regimes.
