Most Danes want EU Treaty vote - Poll
A majority of Danes want to continue with a planned referendum on the proposed EU constitution, despite the recent rejections of the charter by Dutch and French voters, a poll showed today.
The poll, conducted by Vilstrup and published in newspaper Politiken, showed that 53% think Denmark should still hold the referendum, which is scheduled for September 27, while 31% said it should be called off in light of the recent rejections. The rest were undecided.
Vilstrup interviewed 1,037 people over the phone between June 2 and 3. The survey had a margin of error of two per cent.
However, several polls published yesterday showed that Danes’ opinion of the charter itself has swung dramatically since it was turned down in France and the Netherlands.
Four separate surveys indicated that a majority of Danes, who earlier appeared to favour the EU constitution, would now oppose it.
Some 62% of the Dutch electorate rejected the treaty on Wednesday, three days after 55% of French voters said “no” to the charter.
