Marc 6th, 2010: What an exciting day for democracy!!!
History was made today in my home country. Iceland held its first referendum about the Icesave legislation proposed by Johanna Sigurdardottir's government. Early analysis of the votes reveal 98 to 99 percent of all votes said NO to the Icesave law proposed. I am assuming that tomorrow morning, or at least by Monday morning the British media will be going mental so I am looking forward to buying all the broadsheets on Monday morning to see what the 'experts' have to say about this. The government released in a statement that they are confident a the problem will be resolved with all parties involved satisfied (the British, Dutch and Icelandic). Will update tomorrow or Monday.
