into whores; be
addicts of gasoline
& electricity. Bring
in the decay
and breed your
people...”

editor. PAGE 4

Party is obviously
struggling. The
reason their
problems are so

the guy at the
top hasn’t got
the talent or the
character to unite
his people”
Left Green MP Kolbrún
Halldórsdóttir on Prime
Minister Halldór Ásgrímsson.
