Next Saturday, Iceland elects their next President. Presidential elections have a tendency of being uncontested in Iceland, but this time there are a number of candidates since incumbent President Olafur doesn't run again (he's been around 20 years...). The election is first past the post, to the best of my knowledge.

Wasn't he reconsidering it some time ago?

Iceland is a bit like Singapore with frequent uncontested presidential elections. The previous President of Singapore was "elected", or rather declared winner by a walkover after the deadline, on both occasions.

I guess that's about the only similarity between Iceland and Singapore.

I'd say they both grow bananas and built their economic success on dubious financial operations.

Don't know about growing bananas, but some people certainly went bananas
