There isn't many threads about it, and it looks like it's almost revolution time.
Any Icelanders coming to this thread?
>>57427602
Around 5 people are calling for the president to step down
It's the biggest uproar since 1978
All their population(12 people) is protesting, so there is no one to post here right now.
>>57427602
The PM just resigned, more protest today.
Some cuck regime is being replaced by some cuck regime.
>>57427900
B-but he looks so innocent...
You can't be angry at this man.
>>57427900
So what's the plan? You're gonna replace this leftist tubby with an ever tubbier leftist?
>>57428005
Hating him is a national meme.
>>57427602
small shit, people are planning a coup detat here
>>57428044
He's not a lefty.
>>57428252
We all know what "right wing" means in a Nordic context, even more so in an Icelandic. Don't try to kid yourself, or the rest of us for that matter.
>>57428315
Well he's eurosceptic and doesn't like immigrants or so called "refugees."
>>57428347
So that's why you keep them chained up in Keflavik?
Oh well, if you keep sliding this shit they'll soon be set free.
If you thought Poles were bad, boy have I got some news for you.
>>57428063
No pirate PM yet?
>>57428428
No, but it would be interesting if that happened lol.
I always love a good Happening.
>>57429404
Happening soon brother.
OP here:
Does Iceland still do whaling?
Nobody's asking for the President to step down, it has even been suggested that he runs for president for the 6th time (he's been president since 96)
The prime minister just resigned after tremendous demands from the public
What he did was have some assets or whatever which he hid from the taxman
>>57430114
>he's been president since 96
I like it how in educated first world countries people protest and ask their governors to step down when they discover they're corrupt as fuck.
Here in Mexico the whole Panama Papers thing isn't even really mentioned much by the mainstream media company that pretty much owns the country because several of its people are involved, and since everyone knows everyone is corrupt people just complain on facebook or whatever but don't really give a shit in real life to actually do something.
>>57430170
>Iceland
>Same presidential ruling time as ex-Soviet central Asian "democracies"
>>57428347
So now your island will be enriched?
Your qts must be so moist right now.
>>57430170
>>57430251
Should have mentioned that the presidency in Iceland is almost ceremonial, the president does little but accept/reject ministry/goverment proposals
>>57430114
Our president from 1956 to 1981 he was a very good politician and knew how to handle soviets
This is what happens when former colonies get independence
fucking lmao
>>57431338
Going hunting with Hruštšov
>>57427602
>tfw most of my icelandic family is leaving the country in case of civil war and shit.
>tfw when gramps (age 90) just called them cowards and now he sleeps with his rifle.
>>57431390
I was actuality joking about the irony in that
70 years ago my shit country got independence from Denmark, and today Denmark is named the least corrupt country, meanwhile in iceland the PM benefits from the financial crisis, around 3.5 million USD to be exact and is portrayed as corrupt as monarcs from the middle east
>>57432163
>Iceland
>shit
It's not ruled by the EU though (maybe it could be at worst)
>>57432254
Do you think Cameron will have any troubles because of this shit?
>>57432485
Yeah, he's already denying he has connections to offshore tax havens, but Rupert Murdoch's media empire could just downplay or not report it.
He's probably giving himself and his friends their own tax haven with UK tax law loopholes and tiny islands in the middle of nowhere's offshore banking sector (they make shit-tons of money from that).
>>57428206
what?
>>57428426
>poles
>bad
nah senpai, the poles actually have the right approach
>>57432655
Just curious, did he do or say anything against the USA in the past?
>>57432254
You don't know what its like
Iceland is only good on paper
Healthcare is rubbish, my friend had heart palpitations and it took 2 months to get an appointment for the necessary tests, and a t cost him around 200USD
Universities are ranked insanely low w.r.t teaching
Teachers have no incentives to do a good job, a 20 year old CS professor will have the same salary as an 2 year experience english lektor. One of my CS professors has been using fundamentally the same final exam for 10 years, is consistently slammed in teacher evaluations, and rude
I could go on but i think nobody cares
>>57433139
I imagined it would be the reality of what actually happens, socialists here say "look, Scandinavia has highest development in the world because of >muh welfare state".
>>57432985
I doubt he really stands for any particular position t b h really
>>57430170
I would vote for him desu
What will happen when the Pirate Party seizes control? Direct Democracy?
>>57433139
Páll Melsted?
>>57427856
It's better to have 300kk people, but 100% being white lice Iceland than 146kk people, 52% being white like Russia
>>57433768
Páll melsted er ekki slammed i kennslukonnun og er frabær kennari

>Ìsland is so small that when one Icelander mentions a teacher the other immediately knows what he is referring to
Now THAT is comfy
>>57434852
there are only two unis worth mentioning here
he appears to be in CS at the university of Iceland and so was I a few years back
this guy really is notorious
the finals are exactly the same every year, that's no exaggeration, he doesn't even change the figures - just solve last year's test and you've got it
ass
>>57434776
He probably knew it was all over for him when he was asked that.
Use this guide if Iceland's shit hit's the fan.
>>57433796
Russia is not white. Fuck off with your memes.
icelandic corruption is qt desu
why would he even resign, thats not how corruption works
The bourgeoisies reign of error is over
comrades. Now at last, the Workers can build Socialism.
>his leader is so cuck that actually resigns due to corruption charges
GAHAAHAJAIAJAJAUAHAHAUAUAHAKKKKKK
>>57434988
top kek that sounds like a BR thing kek
So now some pirate party cunt is going to take over in a new election? Just when you thought things couldn't get worse.
>>57437497
How about no, I don't want to be executed just for being an individual.
>>57438629
muh hoholdomor
Iceland is funny.
>>57438764
I'm sure you'll never be starved of welfare, Ahmed.
>>57434852
I know im kinda jealous, whole island must be comfy to grow up in.
>>57440755
Agreed, you might find Valaam Monastery on a small island even more comfy aswell.

Does it look like this?
>>57429951
Of course. Daily reminder that whale lovers are literally animal racists.
>Iceland gets a new leftist government
>they import 50k refugees
Have fun!

Paul Watson and his permabanned from Greenpeace group, the "Sea Shephards" roam the North Sea as the Faroese would just kick them out of the island, but Japanese ships would gun them down or ram their ship in half.

>What's more, if Gunnlaugsson's resignation leads Iceland to schedule new elections soon, that vote could end up empowering a radical political party called the Pirate Party, a left-libertarian amalgam that's obsessed with transparency and direct democracy.
>left-libertarian
>>57446103
>obsessed with transparency
Better than being corrupt to the core
>>57446303
nothing good will come out of an obsessed leftist government
also it's pretty opportunistic
Huh... did he resign after all?

No matter how weird Iceland's political situation gets, as long as nobody invades there's a very low chance of it facing turmoil; there are always people willing to pay for housing there, and there's always the booming tourist industry. No matter what Iceland does it has the natural resources to redeem itself and a very small population to manage.

Corruption has been a thing in México for a long ass time. So people pretty much feel indifferent when they read on the news that "x" douchebag was involved in a money laundering scheme, drug business etc,etc.
