Það er svolítið fyndið hvað hægrimenn hafa miklar áhyggjur af því að vinstri stjórnin muni ekki hafa tíma til að framfylgja vinstri stefnum sínum ef farið verður í ESB-samninga. Hélt að hægri flokkar vildu að stjórnvöld gerðu sem minnst - sérstaklega ef þeir eru ekki í stjórn!

Why introduce bills that rarely pass? Eunseong Oh & @indridih show MPs use them less to win than to play party roles: government MPs stay cautious, opposition MPs signal credibility. Read more here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…

My argument is simple: people who say they want to see a return of American manufacturing don't actually vote with their dollar. Let me show you. 🧵

Replying to @dieworkwear
Based on your logic we should just give up local manufacturing and send everything overseas because child labor is cheaper than US labor? That we don’t need to manufacture anything locally? That’s quite a ignorant argument How come every other country has protectionism?

Hvar í lögum er eitthvað að finna um starfsstjórnir? Ef svo, hversvegna er verið að spyrja lögfræðinga um hvað það þýðir? Getur ný ríkisstjórn ekki verið starfsstjórn? Dæmi um það t.d. í Austurríki 2019. mbl.is/frettir/innlent/2024/… via @mblfrettir

„Hugtakaruglingur“ hjá Svandísi

Ekki er hægt að setja starfsstjórn með nýjum forsætisráðherra eins og Svandís Svavarsdóttir, formaður Vinstri grænna, hefur lagt til. Með því að leggja til að formaður Framsóknar verði forsætisráðh...

"Ísland er ekki Austurríki." Ok, hvað í stjórnskipun Austurríkis gerir það að verkum að það er hægt þar en ekki hér? Starfsstjórn er einfaldlega pólitískt fyrirbrigði þar sem þingið fellir ekki stjórn svo lengi sem að hún virðir það að hún hafi takmarkað umboð til aðgerða

Govt approval ratings in #Iceland have more ups and downs than a rollercoaster 🎢 since 2005. Can new PM Bjarni Benediktsson get a smooth ride in 2025? He's unpopular today but ticking up.  #IcelandPolitics #ApprovalRatings #PoliticalRollercoaster

It is interesting that commentary on presidential debates hardly ever touches on the substance of what the candidates say. All about 'performance'.
