Iceland to vote on reopening EU membership talks in close referendum.

Icelanders will vote in a referendum on Saturday whether to resume entry talks with the European Union amid growing global insecurity.

Voters are not being asked to decide just yet if they want to join the 27-member bloc – only whether they want their government to negotiate possible terms.

The fact that Davi Parker is crowing that a low turnout to the Oct.19th neverendem serves the separatists' chances tells you all you need to know about how he, danni and the ucp, black hatters, the sons of the slobs of diagoloners, Centurion projectionists, and all the rest of the separatist cement heads feel about democracy/Albertans

So if you live in Alberta don't fucking blink or you'll miss it, and that's what they want.

Iceland: Your EU seat is waiting. This Saturday - vote 'Yes', resume accession talks, step beyond the EEA and become an EU member! ✨

Dear Icelanders

I recommend you to vote against EU membership negotiations for the following reasons:

1. The EU is not a democracy because the parliament does not have the usual rights a democratic parliament has: Proposals are made in the EU commission and the council of the EU member states and not in the parliament. The parliament can just say yes or no, with the latter usually resulting in "negotiations" so that proposals will still pass later. Since Iceland will only get a few seats in the parliament because of its size, the rest of the EU can overrule the few icelandic representatives. Have a look on how EU legislation works and decide for yourself if that would be democratic enough for you:

https://www.europarl.europa.eu/about-parliament/en/parliaments-powers/legislative-powers

2. EU journalists get sanctioned nowadays when they report the "wrong" matters. Lookup the case of german journalist Hüseyin Doğru: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%BCseyin_Do%C4%9Fru

Icelandic journalists can face the same consequences when reporting "wrongly".

3. The EU is beginning to fall apart from the right-wing politics of member state governments: Some Schengen borders like the german ones are closed again and national rivalry is rising - often because of disagreements on how to "handle" refugees and because of member state decisions regarding militarisation. Iceland will be joining the party when others are thinking about leaving (like France might after the next election) and one already left (UK).

4. Adopting the Euro would mean that Iceland cannot handle the next financial crisis or crash "locally". Instead, the ECB will decide what to do and Iceland will just be a very small voice in the choir.

Will the #PQ's Trump-era #referendum pause work with voters?

Hopefully this is proof solid that #Quebec is best in #Canada. I mean if the #USA is too much for just a referendum vote, how can it say it'd be successful independently.

Auriez-vous oublié que la Constitution de 1958 est le fruit d'un coup d’état et a été adoptée alors que de Gaulle s'était arrogé les pleins pouvoirs ?
Les fachos du RN ont juste à copier le modèle.

The KMT voted to pass a bill for a referendum on the use of corporal punishment (caning) to be held alongside Taiwan's local elections in November

The referendum is very unlikely to pass but plenty will be written in the international media about this over the next few months. It will absolutely trash Taiwan's reputation as a country committed to human rights. It makes a mockery of Taiwan's democracy

Fish over Trump: The economy will determine Iceland’s vote on EU membership.

While Arctic security and US claims over Greenland dominate international headlines, Icelanders are set to decide their European future on far more familiar grounds such as fish and farming.

The 29 August referendum is less about geopolitics than sovereignty and identity.

What is driving racism, hate and violence against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people?

* "The Voice campaign...brought racism many First Nations people experience daily to the fore."

A parliamentary inquiry "follows several violent incidents, including the attack on Camp Sovereignty in Melbourne in August 2025 (and importantly, a new attack on August 2 2026), and the alleged attempted bombing of an Invasion Day rally in Perth."

"At public hearings around the country, First Nations people and organisations have described racism in workplaces, schools, public institutions and online. They have also warned racist abuse is becoming more open, more organised and easier to spread."

"...Political campaigns don’t just reflect existing prejudice. They can create moments when hostile ideas become easier to express, repeat and share.Around Anzac Day and the March for Australia, more than 96% of the hate detected directly targeted First Nations identity. White supremacist claims (that is, posts implying or explicitly asserting the superiority of White, settler or European Australians) and dehumanising language made up almost 90% of the total hateful posts.Around March for Australia alone, white supremacy accounted for 69% of detected hate."

"The findings show something important: online hate follows recognisable patterns. It builds around political campaigns, public controversies and events connected with national identity."

"The parliamentary inquiry now has an opportunity to move from recognising the problem to acting on the evidence. " >>

Iceland’s opposition chief to Europe: Don’t meddle in our referendum.

Guðrún Hafsteinsdóttir casts the 29 August vote on reopening accession talks as a question of Iceland’s hard-won sovereignty.

From @drjaredwesley.substack.com "Between the number of #referendum ballots involved, recent changes to voter verification processes, and slower-than-hoped recruitment of a record number of election workers, voting on October 19 will take much longer than usual."

The more you think this is all bullshit, as I do, the more you'll want to request your mail-in ballot, as I just did. Super easy. See below.
