The winning party, the Demokraatit, is a traditional liberal party, whose leader will now be the PM. He is the most pro Denmark and anti-Trump of all the leaders in Greenland which is why the party came from almost nowhere to becoming the biggest player. It wasn't left-right; it was anti-Trump.

So the government got shuffled to more pro-status quo because the independence parties couldn't answer what would happen if the US mobilized from Thule to seize Nuuk (with shock and awe with no shots fired) and they didn't have Denmark or NATO to deter such a thing anymore?
Pretty much so. The NATO angle is very convoluted but it pays to stand up to Trump. That should be a lesson to weak-kneed leaders in the US and elsewhere.
