Iceland says no to the EU

122

Iceland has a vote. People decide about the EU. The EU is a group of countries. Most people say no. They want no talks. 52 percent vote no. 48 percent vote le. Many people vote. The leader Kristran Frostadóttir is happy. She calls it a win.

People have fear. They want their fish. Fishing brings money. The EU makes rules for fish. Iceland wants no rules. People want their own money. People want their own farms. Iceland is part of Europe. But Iceland stays out of the EU.

Johann Wadephul is sad. He works in Germany. He wants more countries in the EU. He wants Iceland in the EU. He wants Norway in the EU. Nigel Farage is happy. He likes the no vote.
