    Iceland is a parliamentary democracy. The PM is also an MP, the chairperson of a major political party and in her capacity as PM, she leads a coalition of parties that have the majority in the Althing. The Icelandic political system is not as dysfunctional as others.

    I understand of course the symbolic nature of her strike, but I find it silly. She has actual power to change things.

    To be fair, she actually has been, by the way. This was a good opportunity for me to see more what Katrín has been doing and it’s pretty neat. She’s quite the leader.
