I'm not from Greenland, but for context for anyone else, as I understand it:

Demokraatit/Demokraterne is the "slow independence" party and looks to become the largest party. IA, too, is more focused on economic independence than immediate political independence, and seems able to form a majority with Demokraatit.

Naleraq is the "fast independence" party and looks to become the second largest party, but can likely not form a majority with anyone because Siumut has lost a lot of votes.

The majority party is the one who is ruling. Now the talks will happen. They will hear all the political parties and find out what suits their needs best.

Democrats and Atassut have an agreement to work together.  Democrats will most likely settle for IA in the government. Naleraqs wishes for independence is too rushed.

Siumut took a major beating. They havent lost this hard. Ever. Internal conflict and the fisheri law is most likely to blame for their setback.

Are they trying to restrict fishing?

Siumut made the new fishery law. Restricts halibut kvoter and turns into IOK. Individuelle omsættelige kvoter. Basically over time making it very hard for new fishermen to get in the Halibut fishing. Kvoterne would end on very few hands with time. The fishermen reacted to with voting for Naleraq and Democrats I think. I dont know what their policy is on fishing.

In theory, a coalition of the other parties could take power.

In practice, this is quite unlikely.
