Iceland’s voters rejected a proposal to restart negotiations on joining the European Union more than a decade after previous talks ended, the national broadcaster reported Sunday.
The vote will put the long-debated issue to rest more than a decade after a euroskeptic government ended EU talks.
Opponents defeated the measure by a margin of 52.8% to 47.2%, RUV reported. The capital of Reykjavik was the only area in the island nation of 400,000 people where a majority supported the referendum.


Do yourselves a favour and stay out of it, the EU might have started as something good but it’s been corrupted by people that shouldn’t be in any governing position and should have been removed and replaced a long time ago.
“What is a vague and carefully unfalsifiable way to slander an entire continent?”, Alex.
I’m pretty sure they’re referring to the corrupt politicians that are in charge at the minute, not the entire continent.
Just wait until a bigger problem comes, then the EU will crumble. It is a virtual construct which works on paper, but not in reality. The amount of time and money they are wasting is just in no proportion to what the countries get back.
I love how everyone keeps downvoting, unable to accept the reality that the EU might not be so great as they keep imagining.
Next up: NATO is the same, bullshit that works on paper, but does not in a real conflict.
I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted, I mean the corruption you mention is there for everyone to see, this year it’s been more blatant than ever.
It’s very reminiscent of 'An Anecdote for the Lowering of Productivity’ by Heinrich Böll A.K.A The Fisherman and the Businessman/Industrialist parable.
It’s the same with MAGA in America, they can’t accept reality.
