Back in February, I wrote in regards to Iceland—
Today comes news that Iceland’s parliament voted to pursue membership in the European Union. This is a country that fought a near war against the Royal Navy over its fisheries. The center-left now casually tosses their country’s natural birthright away. I can’t help but suspect this has little to do with the economy and more to do with the center-left’s general strategy of pushing power as far away from democratic checks as possible, as the peasants occasionally vote the wrong way.
