^I completely agree - get the plans down on paper for the future and ask "yes or no" - this way there wouldn't be any surprises, no sneaking stuff in and no uncertainty..
Of course that wouldn't work as people wouldn't fall for it, but it would be a fair way and it would elliminate so much of what people dislike and distrust about the EU..

So far.. and only mostly.. ( we had to fight in court for our transfat acid ban despite it being documented unhealthy - luckily we won and kept it
) and no we have to go to court over letting people operate charities taxfree.. ( why do the EU have a beef with charities - Romania & co get's it's fair share, if that goes away it will be Brussels having to pay.. )

As I have already said Danes like cooperation, but domination will make us leave and when the EU keeps reducing our number of ministers and keep reducing the saying we have and take us to court on human and health related issues then what do you think will happen...
We simply do not need the EU - what benefits it presents is not worth risking our system for - so the more the EU will push us, the more likely it will be that we leave.. ( already got several ministers pushing for a EU referendum )

No they didn't - in fact they aren't even spending their oil money, they are pooling it for future generations.. ( oh and Denmark do btw also have plenty of both oil and gas )

Good thing we're a small country then, we could always adopt their ways if we should find the need

Well there worse things than 70 year old Brits..
And if you would have been listening you would know that I don't want an empire, I don't want power or anything - all I want is for the Danes to deside the future of the Danes and have the system they want to have..
I don't think it's too much to ask for - and if we can have that while being an EU member we don't have a problem - but if we can't and see our future at risk of being overrun by the large nations and what they want and then we will be better off on our own...
I don't expect you to fully understand this comming from the highest populated nation with the greatest saying and one of the shortest and most turbulant histories - but try to see the world from our view - we got that hole soceity thing down, what we need is friends to trade with, not rulers to dominate us..

Sadly no - they are financed as an independent companies who got the initial expenses borrowed from the bordering nations that will eventually be paid back over time trough the users ( bridge fee ) like the Great Belt Bridge and tunnel was..
The EU reluctantly added a bit to the Femern pool - but not enough as Germany ( or Denmark for that matter ) had hoped for..
