I would say that is a miscategorization of the election results. It's not so much that he was voted out as the electorate falling for the populism of Framsókn.

Of course a party of 3 out of 63 is not going to make big waves legislatively, but the center-right coalition wouldn't touch this issue. Hell, the previous administration didn't want to touch the issue either. Noise, that's all.



Fair enough. Maybe I am just a little too sensitive to the broad brush and heavy handed approach we seem to touch everything these days with. Frankly, I love my country, but I sometimes wonder if the Facebook "Iceland is so cool" movement isn't making us, internally, a little to complacent.


I would respond with saying: Pirates gained 3 seats in Parliament. There IS hope.
