Monetary union with Norway? Not like their own currency will be worth much anytime soon. Who'll take it? I'd rather take payment in lamb chops and herring than their worthless crowns.
Wonder how much pull the UK and NL have at the IMF...good luck getting the next bailout, Icelanders....
I'd understand all this if Icelanders would express a little contrition and recognition of the mess they've created (small as it thankfully was) rather than turning back to the same greedy assholes whose lack of oversight and full-throated neo-liberal bullshit support brought this mess in the first place. They drank the kool-aid...for a while it looked like they were sobering up but it looks as though they would rather drink more vodka-laced kool-aid.
We shall see, but I'm not holding my breath... Fai de bèn a Bertrand, te lou rendra en cagant
EU accession in this case is all about Eurozone accession, that is, a Bundesbank bailout and takeover of Iceland. En un viejo país ineficiente, algo así como España entre dos guerras civiles, poseer una casa y poca hacienda y memoria ninguna. -- Gil de Biedma
