Greenland Overwhelmingly Rejects US Accession

[magnus@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I think this poll is a little early, atleast let the US take Greenland to McDonald's before they can consent to being fucked.

Oh they’re just playing hard to get

Meanwhile, 60% in favour of EU accession and those are numbers from just before the current escalation and with the fisheries policy still being a giant unsolved issue. Might actually fall under the bus because tough luck getting the parliament to reform it if there's no need and with all those minerals Greenland isn't as keen on fishing, any more.

Lol, billionaires were only able to buy a 6% stake in this lie that ANYONE in that country wants to be owned by the US, pretty pathetic for an open and I'm sure easily manipulated poll.

[beargun@ttrpg.network]

Is 500 really big enough to get a proper spread though? Iirc my statistics course (which i don't all that well tbf) you need a pretty significant sample still, would think a few thousand at least

[scott_of_the_arctic@lemmy.world]

Most Greenlanders have access to the internet. Although the percentage isn't as high as most places in Europe or north America (I assume because of geography).

[sunsofold@lemmings.world]

I'm now curious what those 6% were thinking. The no is basically the default. What males those few say they want to join the US?

[maniclucky@lemmy.world]

With our new president? No consent sought...

[barsoap@lemm.ee]

497 more than 1% of Greenland's voting population. For larger populations the rule of thumb is generally 1000 people for a good poll, 500 for a decent one.

[bieren@lemmy.world]

Fake news. The human Cheeto said otherwise and I only believe what he says.

[quittenbrot@feddit.org]

As a German, I'd be more than happy to have only 6% of people voting against the interest of the country..

[samus12345@lemm.ee]

Everywhere has some Nazis.

[pyroneurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Now poll the Americans. How many of them want to include Greenland?

[valeria@feddit.kyiv.ua]

It is not for you decide Donald Trump, it is the choice of the Greenlandic people. No means no.

[mouselemming@sh.itjust.works]

No. "Developing" implies there's some hope for us improving.

[cornelius_wangenheim@lemmy.world]

A general rule with polls is that you'll never get a result below 5% on a question with 2 options. Those people mostly weren't paying attention, didn't understand the question, didn't care or intentionally chose a contrarian response.

[hk65@sopuli.xyz]

Developing doesn't mean it's being developed for its citizens

[stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

so 2 voted in favour, 3 withheld, and the remaining 28 citizens voted against?

[beargun@ttrpg.network]

Fair enough, thanks.

[brickhead92@lemmy.world]

I don't think Trump or his buddies know that, no means no, nor would care even if they did.
