COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - The Danish prime minister on Wednesday called an election for June 18 in which her centre-left Social Democrats will face stiff competition from the centre-right Liberals who want more curbs on immigration and limits on state spending.

The polls suggest the Liberals and their allies will win, which could result in a coalition that includes the eurosceptic Danish People's Party, winner of EU parliamentary elections last year.
