From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Danish Single European Act referendum of 1986 was a non-binding referendum held in Denmark on February 27, 1986. 75.4 % of eligible Danes turned out to vote in the referendum, with 56.2 % voting in favour and 43.8 % voting against.[1]
The referendum was held by the government of the Prime Minister of Denmark, Poul Schlüter. The government was in favour of Denmark ratifying the Single European Act, but a majority in parliament was against it.[1] The referendum was the last EEC / EU related referendum in which parties such as the Social Democrats and the Social Liberal Party recommended against ratification.
