We will see in six months time if sufficient numbers of Danes have discovered that the euro gives them better protection to its consequences than a (supposedly) independent krone. But anyway, IF Fogh wins the referendum, there is enough time left for him to get appointed EU president. @Andreas: So far, a slight majority seems to be in favour, and the American credit crisis has not even unfolded to its full extent yet.

This would mean Denmark could be a eurozone country by 2009, when the new EU president takes office. @Andreas: Fogh plans to hold a referendum on the Danish opt-outs – most notably on the euro – in September or October this year (and according to current polls, he would win that).

And if they are known it is only for some controversial opinion/behaviour... I don't think a candidate from outside the eurozone would be acceptable in the end...that would also rule out any Danish candidate. Anyway, I have this slight feeling that the final decision on this will be made during a EU summit at 3am... Indeed, it is a problem that not many politicians are known EU wide.
