Being small and flexible is what have gotten is this far after our empire days went sour and inflighting ruined the united Scandinavian dream..
We have our social system, we have our worker rights and wages and we have fought very hard to get them to those points - what benefits there is from a national point to be an EU member is jeopardizing our social system..
I know European nation can come off quite similar from a far, but on the ground there are great differences and I think Danes are the best ones to decide what is best for the Danes in the future.. and unlike nations such as Germany and France that has gone trough defeat after defeat and is now searching for an identity and to restore their place on the globe, we do have a place, we do know who we are, we have an identity and we like being what we are..
I don't have any beef with the EU as a trade union, but when we constant have to fight legal cases with even basic stuff such as banning transfat acids or having charity to be taxfree then it is more harmful than beneficial to us and I would prefere to get out unless it relaxed a bit..
If I ever put kids in this world I want them to grow up in a nation build on our values that works hard to do the best for them, nor farmers in France or factory workers in Poland..
If the Kingdom subsequently lose out from that stance, so be it - there is more to life than money and might and many nations get's off fine with a fraction of what we have.. as long as people have a place to sleep and food to eat we'll get by, it wouldn't be the first time the Kingdom faced hardship, nor overcame it..

I honestly think that I have a better idea of the political landscape in my county than you can find on Wiki and I have proven that for 5 years, so I think we should take another 5 years and see how it goes..
As I have also made clear I am very welcoming of referendums, only problem is that the politicians knows the feelings of the Danes and don't dare..
( we saw that at the European Parliament elections where a majority of Danes voted for EU opposing parties to represent them )
But sooner or later they will have to and I will get to post an "I told you so" post here with a smug smile on my face...
Until then I don't see any reason in debating it as we have shown many times before there is no value to it - our opinions differs greatly - let it stay there, it's not like I'm gonna make an Eu sceptic out of you nor you an pro EU fan out of me..
So mate, let's give it some time and see what happens... okay
