A rare poll hints at real differences between Danish and Greenlandic thinking on Greenland independence

When it comes to the future of Greenland's economy, many Greenlanders hold very different views than their Danish counterparts.

The latest and strangely under-reported poll about independence in Greenland is the most crucial, tell-tale piece of information about Greenland’s potential future in a very long time. It will tell you more than scores of ordinary news items. The results are gradually being more widely published; a series of key findings were delivered at a seminar just before Christmas at Ilisimatusarfik, the University of Greenland in Nuuk (you can watch the entire proceeding on YouTube).
