Description - Danes & their Politicians by Gunnar Viby Mogensen
This study looks at a recurrent topic in Danish public debate - the sense of a confidence crisis between the population and the politicians. Lately, the problem acquired additional importance through the Danish failure to ratify the Maastricht Treaty in the first referendum in June 1992. The referendum resulted in a rejection of the treaty - despite the recommendations of a clear majority of parliamentarians, parties, professional, and industrial bodies and labour unions. In 1989, the Rockwool Foundation Research Unit at the Central Danish Bureau of Statistics initiated a research project focused on the relationship between Danes and their politicians and, in a more general sense, their perception of the political system. In the first part of this book, the results of the project are summarized. In the second part, two politicians and a former leading civil servant present their views of the problem. Finally, the appendix presents some of the detailed empirical data used in the survey.
