BRITAIN’S vote to leave the EU strengthened Eurosceptics across the continent yesterday.

Denmark’s People’s Movement, uniting the Communist Party and the red-green Unity List (EL) party, hailed the landmark “victory” against the “undemocratic EU system” and called for a Danish referendum.

EL spokeswoman Pernille Skipper said: “We are pleased at the British results, not least on behalf of the British employees who now have better opportunities to combat the driving down of wages and poverty.

“The British exit brings political influence back to the British people and away from an undemocratic EU system.”

People’s Movement MEP Rina Ronja Kari said: “The British No creates a completely new situation for EU-resistance both in Denmark and in the rest of Europe.

“It is a victory for democracy. Now Britons have the chance to secede from the union’s demands for cuts in welfare.”

The movement is running an online petition calling for a referendum on EU membership. “Now is the time for the Danish population to also be heard,” said Ms Kari.

In neighbouring Sweden, the Left Party suggested renegotiating its treaties with the EU, but leader Jonas Sjostedt cautioned that he first wanted “to know what Britain’s new relationship with the EU looks like.”

A poll found 38 per cent of Austrians in favour of an EU exit, up from around 25 per cent in 2014.

A May survey by Ipsos Mori showed 58 per cent of Italians and 38 per cent of Hungarians also want an EU referendum, while in February 53 per cent of Dutch said they would vote Leave.
