I had a horrid day:
horrendous for my nation!
They won't receive next May
our grateful approbation
for all they did so bad !
which leaves us really sad :
their cheating, and their lies
may come as no surprise.
Forsaking, yet, our public
––moreover : our Republic––
is what will earn their name
such eternal shame ! q25+n27v12
The immediate occasion of that little verse was Thursday in Parliament this week, when the Europhiles–––using most of their cheatingly acquired majority in the 2009 elections, as well as five traitors* among opposition MPs–––succeeded is warding off a proposal of a Ms. Vigdís Hauksdóttir, MP, to have their application for the accession of Iceland into the Euopean Union revoked. The veto was done in total disregard of the wishes of the populace here in Iceland: 57.9% wanted, in an opinion poll, a national referendum to take place, deciding whether to stop the negotions with the EU or carry them on; and 64% in another poll said they wished to stop the negotiation, only 32% say wanted them to be continued (cf. here, in Icelandic). Besides, the governmental parties have only some 31–33% support in opinion polls in this year. – "Next May": Next year we have new parliamentary elections!
* Those traitors being the MPs of Hreyfingin: Þór Saari, Margrét Tryggvadóttir, Birgitta Jónsdóttir, as well as Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir in the Independence party (Sjálfstæðisflokkurinn), and Siv Friðleifsdóttir of Framsóknarflokkurinn–––all acting against their parties' official stance and overwhelming grass-root opinion.
