==Political career== Nordqvist was elected into parliament as a member of The Alternative in the 2015 election. He was reelected in 2019, but left the party shortly after - along with Uffe Elbæk, Sikandar Siddique and Susanne Zimmer. The three other former Alternative members went on to found a new party, the Independent Greens, while Nordqvist instead remained independent for two months before joining the Socialist People's Party.<ref>{{cite web |title=Rasmus Nordqvist (SF) |url=https://www.ft.dk/medlemmer/mf/r/rasmus-nordqvist |website=Ft.dk |access-date=17 August 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Rasmus Nordqvist skifter til SF |url=https://www.altinget.dk/artikel/rasmus-nordqvist-skifter-til-sf |website=Altinget.dk |access-date=17 August 2021}}</ref>
