How likely is this to be passed?

I would imagine that there will be a fair amount of influence exerted in the direction of Reykjavik to make sure this doesn't pass.

Actually, it would be fascinating to see the records of the incoming calls to the leaders of the Icelandic government - I wonder who could help with that? ;-)



There's zero chance this will pass.

We currently have a right wing majority in parliament in Iceland, and they're not keen on issues of civil liberty. Head of one of the ruling parties said last week that "Snowden is going to go to the back of the citizenship line like everyone else". Sorry.


What they could do is send out a letter to all the people at the front of the citizenship line and ask if anyone is willing to trade places with him. If I were waiting at the front of the line I would gladly switch places with him. I'm sure they can find someone.


Well, there might be 0.1% chance. I mean, Framsóknarflokkurinn just supported the new constitution, a bill put forward by the Leftist Green. They might yet surprise us.



They can always threaten another volcanic eruption if the US starts to get too pushy.


If they can follow through on that threat, that would be impressive.


Exactly as hugi said. Not going to happen.
