> Gunnlaugsson becomes the second Icelandic premier to resign amid street protests, after Geir Haarde was forced out during the 2009 financial collapse.

This is beautiful. THIS is how you do a protest.




What were the protesting about though? Did he do something wrong?


He was found guilty of only the least charge:

“But he was found guilty of not holding cabinet meetings when things turned critical. The lesser charge carried no prison sentence or fine. ”

My opinion: He was complicit in his government’s regulatory capture.
