I didn't think Denmark was a pseudo-democracy but you learn new things every day.

The problem is not Denmark. It is the lack of democracy in the EU itself. The European Commission has no democratic legitimacy.
And if you say that, you're far right wing lately.

That's what we have become.

What makes you believe this isn't an example of democracy in action, though?
Ill believe it when I see people directly vote to full surveillance of all their chat and speech. Just because politicians in a democracy want something that doesn't mean the voters want it too. The voters are voting for people, not on policy, and that holds true even if we were able to ignore all the manipulations and external influences upon choosing political representatives.
Technically it's a Monarchy
