'To be or not to be' – Danes split over EU relations

In the 2009 EU elections, turnout was a relatively high 59.5 percent. A referendum held the same day on the equal right of Danish princesses and princes to inherit the old throne helped motivate people to go to the ballot boxes. EU election day will see a referendum this year too. Danes will be asked whether they accept that the country should sign up to the European Union’s patent court. But the issue is unlikely to have the same pull-effect on voters as the future of the royal family had in the last EU election.
