![]() "Keith Willshaw" wrote in message ... "Spiv" wrote in message ... It is irrelevant info. Greenland is NOT a part of Denmark, no more than Gibraltar or the Falklands being a part of the UK. You obviously can't understand this. You are as usual incorrect. Greenlands current political situation is that its a semi-atonomous region under the Danish Crown Its electors vote in Danish Parliamentary elections and the currency in use is the Danish Krone. Denmark retains control of foreign affairs and defense. It is in fact in the same position as Scotland and Wales , having a devolved assembly with limited powers from http://www.um.dk/english/faktaark/fa24/fa24_eng.asp Government type: Home rule in national union with Denmark In accordance with home rule, Greenland retains extensive powers of self-government while remaining under the Danish Crown. The Folketing (the Danish parliament) has transferred almost all legislation to the Landsting (the Greenlandic parliament) but the Folketing and the Danish administration retain control over some areas of government. Greenland's voters elect two representatives to the Folketing. Language: Greenlandic and Danish Currency: Danish krone (DKK) That can be said for far away British possessions too. Geographically it is not Denmark nor on the same Continent either. |
