Just hours before the polls open in the USA, a new survey shows that none of the right-leaning parties in the Danish parliament openly support Republican nominee Mitt Romney. This is according to Seven59.dk and Politiken.dk.<\/p>\n
Liberal leader Lars L\u00f8kke Rasmussen has already declared his support for President Obama and the party\u2019s foreign affairs spokesman, and former integration minister, S\u00f8ren Pind, an USA \u2018aficionado\u2019, said last night that although Barack Obama has been an \u00bbinconceivably bad\u00ab president, he wasn\u2019t sure that Romney is a viable alternative.<\/p>\n
The Conservatives, recognised as the Republicans\u2019 \u2018sister party\u2019 in this country, have also declined to openly support Mr Romney. <\/p>\n
Foreign affairs spokesman Per Stig M\u00f8ller said the Republicans are poor on issues that the Conservatives support. <\/p>\n
\u00bbWe\u2019re probably more in line with the Democrats on the environment and climate policy,\u00ab he says.<\/p>\n
The Danish People\u2019s Party (DF) have chosen to remain \u2018indifferent\u2019. The party\u2019s foreign affairs spokesman S\u00f8ren Espersen said that \u00bbmy most important question as a Danish politician is: Does whoever sits in the White House have any significance for Denmark and NATO? And the answer is no, so I don\u2019t care who wins.\u00ab<\/p>\n
The political right\u2019s lack of enthusiasm for Mitt Romney is mirrored by the Danish electorate. In a Megafon poll, 84 per cent of Danes said they would vote for President Obama if they could and just 4 per cent would back Mr Romney.<\/p>\n
University Post readers are overwhelmingly in favour of Obama: A snap poll, still open, on the front page of UniversityPost.dk, has Obama ahead at time of writing by an overwhelming 92 per cent to Romney’s 8 per cent.<\/p>\n
