German voters would reject the euro if given a chance, according to polls taken before Denmark showed that rejection is not followed by heavens falling. The vote was not only against making the existing monetary arrangements irrevocable, it was against the EU's political pretensions, one manifestation of which is the idea, emanating from Germany, that Britain and France should turn over to the EU their permanent seats on the U.N. Security Council. Indeed it is. In France, where centralization is a civic religion, Paris is contemplating increased autonomy for Corsica to dampen disorderly demands for it. Against both centrifugal and centripetal forces, Denmark has asserted the value of self-determination in a framework of nationhood.
Democracy is in Denmark's debt.
