Read More Here:: "Denmark is ditching plans to hold a popular vote on government plans to scrap its opt-outs to key European Union policies, such as the euro and security.
The opt-out arrangements date back to Europe's first referendum rejection shock of Maastricht by Denmark in 1992 and the Danish No to the euro in 2000. Denmark is no push over.
Like Britons, the Danes were denied a referendum on the Lisbon EU Treaty this year, despite previous promises on the Constitutional Treaty.
Now Denmark will not get another promised referendum this autumn - it has been postponed indefinitely - because it is clear that the Danish government, and thus the wider EU, would lose.
A moment has arrived when the political classes and establishments across Europe are unable take voters with them. This seems to be a genuine European trend."
