Political career

Krarup was elected into parliament in the 2011 election, where she received 1,659 votes. This was enough for one of the Danish People's Party's levelling seats. She was reelected in 2015, receiving 2,436 votes, winning a direct seat into parliament. She was elected again in 2019, where she received 1,618 votes. She left the party in February 2022, following an internal dispute in the party about the recently elected chairman Morten Messerschmidt.[2][3][4][5]

In April 2013 Krarup in New Zealand called a traditional Maori greeting "grotesque".[6] Colin Craig leader of the New Conservatives Party sided with her statement by saying no visitors should have to face a "bare-bottomed native making threatening gestures" if they didn't want to.[7]
