Lindh sympathy vote fails to swing euro vote
The result is seen as a blow to have Britain and Denmark adopt the common currency in the near future. With 97% of the Scandinavian country’s 5,967 precincts counted, 56.3% of the more than 5.4 million ballots cast were against replacing the krona with the euro, while 41.7% voted in favour and 2% cast undecided ballots.
Polls over the past year showed the currency was not popular with the country’s 7.1 million voters but the brutal stabbing on Thursday of the ardently pro-euro politician gave the Yes campaign a boost in the polls.
