Syriza won! 23 percent of Iceland’s wealth belongs to 1 percent - TopicsExpress



          

Syriza won! 23 percent of Iceland’s wealth belongs to 1 percent of the population. This was recently revealed. 73 percent of the country’s wealth belongs to the top 10 percent. Every single member of Alþingi on behalf of the traditional political parties, left and right, belongs to those ten percent. Various members on behalf of the Independence Party and the Progressive Party comfortably belong to the top 1 percent. In other words: the upper layers of Icelandic society are outrageously over-represented in both parliament and government. Congratulations, Greeks, on #Syrizas victory. And, um, not congratulations to us schmoes who just won an extra three years of manual labour to pay for *someones* campaign promises.
