The political farce continues. The president of Iceland has just put his own personal gain above the interest of his nation.
He has asked for a national referendum on the IceSave bill.
What is the nation going to vote on? To pay or not to pay?
If I were asked if I preferred to pay my debt or not then of course I would say no. But what are the consequences?
What does this mean for the government?
Is Olafur Ragnar Grimsson now an Independence Party hero?
What does this mean for the rebuilding of Iceland? What is the reaction from the IMF (which he apparently did not consult beforehand) or the UK and Netherlands?
And then he doesn’t have the courtesy to answer the nation’s questions completely.
First word that comes to mind is demagoguery.
More later.
