Iceland is finally deciding if it wants to be part of the EU club
After years of playing hard to get, the island nation is heading to the polls to settle its relationship status once and for all.
It feels like Iceland has been flirting with the European Union for a decade, but now they are actually going for it. The polls are basically a coin toss, and everyone is glued to the screens watching the ballots pile up.
The whole debate is essentially a battle between keeping their fishing waters strictly to themselves or joining the giant bureaucratic machine of the EU. It is the ultimate 'do we want cheap internet roaming and open borders, or do we want to keep absolute control over our cod?' dilemma.
Whatever happens, it is going to be a long night of counting for a country that usually has a much quieter political life.
It turns out that even for a place with more sheep than people, global politics is still impossible to escape.
