LONDON (AP) – Halla Tomasdottir, a businesswoman and investor, has won Iceland’s presidential election, topping a crowded field of candidates in which the top three finishers were women, the country’s national broadcast service reported.

Tomasdottir was elected to the largely ceremonial post with 34.3% of the vote, defeating former Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir, with 25.2%, and Halla Hrund Logadottir, with 15.5%, RUV said Sunday.

Katrin from the Left-Green Movement just resigned as PM to run for president. Her deputy from an allied party is now PM.

It’d be a bit of a challenge building a family tree. No common last names through generations, and many unrelated people with the same last name.

And I realize the English had similar traditions with last names like John-son and Jack-son, etc. But I guess that was abandoned centuries ago.

Too bad. If she's so much for DEI, she'll open the borders to 3rd world migration to make sure that happens.

The President of Ieland is “Head of State”, which is what the King is to England, while the Prime Minister is Head of Government, again like England.

Iceland is small enough that it still works. Their population is approximately that of my county in GA, around 1/4 million. We’re actually a little bigger.

Depends on who are the immigrants in Iceland. If they are Chinese, Indian and Filipino, then they will benefit from cheap labor.

Complete nonsense. The "model minority" myth has been destroyed conclusively in recent years. Any imported persons from foreign cultures will create problems in Iceland. Period.

Men don’t want to get involved in politics anymore. Look at Mexico.

I think we aren’t too far off from the same happening here.

Maybe they don't bother because the cartels run the government.

We're no different. The Deep State is in charge of our government. It'll be interesting to see if this November is the last time we'll bother to show up to vote.

What happens is there is a certain point where if there is a certain percentage of women in positions of power, men lose interest.

I bet it’s a huge problem in Western Europe.

Whites are suicidal in their pursuit of not hurting anyone’s feelings and catering to the turd world and Islam. Sad to see.

This is what happens when you get too many White people in one place.

They get used to a world free from crime and chaos.

Then they start thinking the whole world is that way.

They lose a sense of danger, similar to a wild animal raised from infancy by humans.

Also it’s just blame boredom, they have to think up new ways of doing things just to break the monotony.

That picture is probably the greatest argument for us to leave NATO.

It's time for some tough love.

"Does dottir mean “daughter in Icelandic?"

Yep. Scandinavian names also end in dotter and for son, end in sson, like Haroldsdotter or Haroldsson. I never realized that until I started working on my family tree.
