With her centre-left government kicked out of power, Denmark will now be ruled by a right-wing, really rather Eurosceptic coalition. Looks like Cameron is about to get his first renegotiation ally.
Let's hope so. There's clearly growing resentment throughout Europe and the refusal to address it is only going to make things worse and could lead to big trouble.

It's a measure of the denial within the EU's upper echelons that they continue to refuse any meaningful reform, preferring to carry on regardless. I really don't understand how they can be so blinkered and entrenched in spite of the obvious reality that the EU cannot continue in anything like its present form. I wish it wasn't the case but IMHO the EU is like a fuel laden supertanker heading towards rocks and the captain is insisting they move out of his way...
