Prime Minister of Denmark Anders Fogh Rasmussen is said to be reluctant to officially cancel a planned referendum on the EU Constitution, scheduled for 27 September.

But he has been in touch with Tony Blair, who really does want to cancel the British Referendum, perhaps because his chances of winning such a poll in Denmark seem to have dropped significantly.

According to a fresh opinion poll from Greens Analyseinstitut, published in Danish business daily Børsen on Friday (3 June), 39.5 per cent of Danes would reject the Constitution.

This is the first survey conducted after the French no-vote on 29 May and it shows support for the No side has gone up by 50 per cent in Denmark compared to previous surveys.

Only one in three Danes (30.8 per cent) would now approve the Constitution, while 29.7 per cent were undecided.

Despite the critical attitude towards the Constitution, a clear majority of two thirds (65.3%) would still prefer to be able to express their opinion in a referendum.

Is it not strange just as the polls turn against them, they start to belive that democracy is the wrong way forward.
