Icelandic voters reject a proposal to restart negotiations to join the European Union

I don’t get it. Doesn’t everyone want to join the EU and be ruled by corrupt elite in Brussels? Did Putin influence the referendum in Iceland??? We know that Putin wants to conquer the world.

The fishing industry holds way too much power in some of these North Atlantic countries.

Fishing is Iceland's second-largest industry, after tourism. I'd say the industry holds an appropriate amount of power in that country.

"Fishing is Iceland's second-largest industry, after tourism."

They should do something about that. It's 2026. No developed country should be that reliant on high school dropouts.

People keep saying things like that, but there's no evidence to support that.

Automation will not replace fishermen, though it can make their jobs safer and more comfortable.

Not to worry. When the US conquers Iceland, we will completely transform the local economy by building data centers from coast to coast. Fishing will be a quaint pasttime by comparison.
