The Pirate Party  a left wing progressive party came in  second in Iceland, and the prime minister resigned as a result.  

The Pirate Party has interesting demographics,  it is mostly under 30 years old.

They advocate  more redistribution,  more  public exposure of government actions  and (get this)  a "crowd sourced Constitution"  for Iceland.

 

I would not advocate a left wing party in the U.S.  (we already have one,  The Democrat Party).  but the idea of a Constitution  written  by 

people not of the Establishment  is fascinating.   If,  nothing else,  it is a breath of fresh air.

If this idea catches on in the U.S.  we may have interesting results.  There is now apparent  a disgust  of and for  the Establishment of both 

the Republican Inner Party and the Democrats.   Hillary will most likely win,  but she will not be loved ---- by anyone.

Keep your eye on Iceland and the Pirate Party.  They may have some ideas we can use here in the  U.S. .Ragnar Danegold's ancestors were Icelandanders, too!

There may be a new day coming.  A cold breeze from Iceland may blow our way.  The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, the answer is blowin' in the wind.
