Re: Iceland rejects debt-slavery (4.00 / 2)
Chris Cook in the Salon links to the English-language Icelandic blog Economic Disaster Area.

Looking in the recent posts there one finds things such as: The National Referendum: Not About IceSave March 4th, 2010

If you are a foreigner taking a look at the national referendum this Saturday, please don´t make the mistake of thinking it is about IceSave.

It is all about internal, Icelandic politics.

Those who will vote yes are voting for the government to stay on (Social Democrats and those who still think Steingrimur J. Sigfusson is the leader of the Left/Greens).

Those who vote no are voting for the Independence Party and the Progressive Party (People who would absolutely love for it to still be 2007).



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
