By the way....Birgitta did not become PM. The Minister of Agriculture [I believe] did....about whom I know nothing.
I don't think this is the end of the story. Even if it is not Birgitta that ends up the PM. Icelanders are not happy with this non-resignation resignation. Nor the appointment of the Ag-fisheries guy. Nor any thing much. They want new elections and no more banking BS. The US have their military aircrafts there right now. I am sure there is a lot of meetings, conversations/threats/begging/bribing, sweet talking and pleading happening. They may take the guilty parties away to be reunited with their money in the Caribbean or they may bomb the place. Hard to say with the US. The US will have a hard time saying they need to bring democracy to this country which is already the oldest running parliamentary democracy in the world.
Aha, it was Agrigculture/Fisheries - that makes a big difference [fishing is BIG business in Iceland]. USA bomb Iceland? Hell, it is about the only country we haven't as far as I can remember.....might as well make it a perfect set. I agree that things are far from settled down in Iceland and the Pirate Party and Birgitta may well yet play a much more important role...and one for the better, I'm sure [and one to antagonize the USA - I'd love to see the apoplectic face of the CIA station chief in Reykjavik even now]. Long live the Pirate Party and may she spread her mainsails West to the shores of the biggest real pirates of them all...the USS Pirate currently anchored between Canada and Mexico [and last seen fleecing/attacking everyone on board and not on board - Worldwide].
