Iceland's government has said a vote on resuming accession talks with the EU will be held in August. Iceland withdrew from talks in 2013 — but rising costs, the war in Ukraine and US imperialism have prompted a rethink.
And how else do you expect iceland to join when the eu requires a referendum to be had in the joinimg country? Also iceland(from what i know) has a muuuuch smaller faschism problem than most other countries in the world
In Scandianvia there is more democracy and citizens has responsobility and they thunk. This is very important question and it removes some soverianity, so ti should be asked. The same was in Lithuania and I am proud of the way it was done. Because if parlament would decide on its own - peaple would think country was stolen from them
For fuck sake
?
What’s not to get. I’m disappointed.
It’s gonna get twisted by fascy types through misinformation and advertising so the vote ends up “don’t join EU”

the EU don’t require a referendum? Never have, probably won’t in future either.
They don’t particularly care how it gets decided as long as the request to join is officially recognised by the government of the country.
Some joined by unilateral decision by Party Voting (internal voting of the leading party)
Some joined by request of their allies
Some joined when the country reunified (East and West Germany)
Some joined by their Legal Court putting the motion into a Bill which was voted on by their Parliament
