Danish Referendum on converting EU justice opt-out to opt-in, 3 December 2015

[politicus]

Surprised that so many DanishFolk are supporting YES, if I'm honest.

Why? Yes gives us all the advantages we have and increased flexibility to join whatever might be beneficial.

Yeah, as a strong eurosceptic, the opt-in seems rather attractive even to me. I honestly wouldn't immediately know what to vote in this referendum.

Still, I'd be afraid that someday, a left-wing government will chose to "opt-in" in joint programs that might not be beneficial to Denmark, just for the sake of the European ideal. If all yes-parties agree (and I trust V's and C's "euroscepticism" as much as I trust the VVD's and the CDA's sudden "euroscepticism" - not at all), they're good to go without any referendum.

There is no Euroscepticism in Venstre - some are more or less enthusiastic about the EU, but no prominent members qualify as actual sceptics.

The Eurosceptic parties (Red Greens, LA and DPP) + the People's Movement against the EU have formed an alliance and agreed on setting aside their differences and presenting a common "No" platform.

New poll show a No majority for the first time. A third of voters are still undecided:

Yes 31%
No 36%
Undecided 34%

(only got the rounded numbers)
