User ID: 28167778 United States 04/02/2013 01:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why did the politicians let it get this far and then stop it, I wonder. Crowd-sourcing may be good or bad for a document like this. Ruling by plebesite has a spotty history. Iceland is such a beautiful place, I too hope they find a way.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 8598974 Iceland 04/02/2013 01:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Crap. the leftist coalition with around 20% popular support tried to hijack the constitution. Broad support is needed to change a constitution. A few bunch of radicals tried to make a new constitution based on their minority ideas. They failed. If you put most of the major decisions being made around the world concerning, finance, banks, structing of new world order to popular vote : the decision by the people would never agree with what is being done. Democracy is being killed. |

As a social system, we alternately swing between greed and charity, whether in the elite or with labour. With Iceland and now Cyprus, I merely see bumps on the road to the globalisation of this social-economy. We have to go through this process...it is the anvil that will eventually shape our collective consciousness. Workers of the World, Unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains! |

Since then we are on schedule to compensate ALL foreign savings accounts investors 100%. The biggest losers on Iceland where deutsche bank and like. Lets try and summarise that. The forces of global capital, comprised as they are in all the institutuiions of trade, export and financial services, seek to draw countries into larger frameworks in the march to globalism. In the meantime, governments suffering the turmoil of Cold War largesse seek to undo the credit deficit by a variety of means in a bid to preserve trust in the system. Some options involve the left in a bid to cap labour unrest (Iceland, Portugal, US etc etc.) Other options include the right in a bid to ensure earlier gains are consolidated (Germany, UK etc). Once countries are reinstated after a period of left interventionism, the right make a comeback to continue the project. But like I said, these are agnostic forces. You are of course torn by a desire to be relieved of this process and must go whither you want. Nothing I say will make an iota of difference. Workers of the World, Unite.
