Mette Thiesen (born 20 December 1981) is a Danish politician and former schoolteacher who has been a member of the Folketing since June 2019, at first representing the Nye Borgerlige political party, but from November 2022 being an independent, and from February 2023 representing the Danish People's Party.
Thiesen was a city council member in Hillerød Municipality from January 2014 until December 2021, first representing the Conservative People's Party and from May 2017, when she changed her party allegiance, the Nye Borgerlige party. In November 2022 she left Nye Borgerlige due to personal issues,[1][2] consequently becoming the fastest politician in Danish history to leave the party she was elected for, having left six days after her re-election in the 2022 general election.[3][4]
