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).

A few naive souls will vote no because their life values commend them that anything to do with banks and business is something you should say no to (mostly Left/Green naivists and people who look like they are roadies for Jimmy Buffett).

The rest of us refrain from joining the circus.
