    It seems to be Greenland that’s setting the pace on independence rather than Denmark. They drafted a constitution and have been examining the practicalities of it.

As such, the leading pro-indepedence faction favours developing economic stability before making moves for independence, and polling seems to show most people don’t want to declare independence right away if it means a huge hit to their standard of living. I suppose, though, that Denmark giving the block grant each year and substantially improving the quality of life of Greenlanders is a sort of reparations
