The Danish Parliament (Folketinget) wants to let an international body such as the EU take over some of Denmark's right to decide for itself. A majority votes yes, but it is fewer than 5/6 of the members. The government sticks to the proposal. What must happen then?
In the exam (Danish)
Folketinget vil lade et internationalt samarbejde som EU overtage noget af Danmarks selvbestemmelse. Et flertal stemmer ja, men det er færre end 5/6 af medlemmerne. Regeringen holder fast i forslaget. Hvad skal der så ske?

- bA referendum must be heldDer skal holdes en folkeafstemningCorrect answer
- cThe King decides whether the proposal appliesKongen bestemmer, om forslaget gælder
Why?
The Constitution (Grundloven) requires at least 5/6 of the members of the Folketing to vote yes. If there is only an ordinary majority and the government sticks to the proposal, the voters must vote on it in a referendum.
