"I have too much respect for the Icelandic people to hope that they join a Europe which will not be acting in their interests but in the interests of an elite. Icelanders are already suffering from their government’s betrayal; a government which ignores the sovereign decision made by Icelanders, 95% of whom rejected the law compelling them to pay for the losses suffered by Icesave’s British and Dutch customers. Why would they agree to join an EU that encourages them to accept this disregard for the popular will? According to the latest polls, 57.6% of Icelanders are opposed to joining the EU. I understand them. This is not the kind of Europe they should join."@en1
