As an Icelander i can say that similar things have happened before, a comedic actor "Jón Gnarr" ran as mayor of the capital city in 2010 as a joke but ended up winning, funny enough he ran for the party called "the best party" which he and his friends formed as a joke back in 2009.
If I recall correctly, he ended up very effective and popular as mayor, but refused to run for reelection despite residents wanting him for another term.
BS - there are close to no cases where a random person could run a country successfully. Especially when such power is literally given to them without any kind of fight for it. Even if we don't consider the notion of free things are much less valuable to people recieving them, then there is still a reason it takes skill to be a leader, and especially an innovator, given that less than 2.3% of a population actually invent anything. Ultimately you know nothing you are talking about and so you talk bs.

Hell I'd vote for them. Considering our own presidential elections, I'm beginning to think that the individual that would do the job best would be the individual that didn't want the job to begin with.
Iceland is a Parliamentary Republic, meaning that while the job comes with certain responsibilities, it would in most cases be a much easier job than say becoming the Prime Minister.
The people of iceland need to elect one of them as the greatest practical joke of all time. Imagine going out to get your paper and secret sevice are out there waiting to usher you in a van
Too bad those 6 and those 40 that withdrew are probably the best candidates. Those who want power are rarely worthy of it and rarely good enough to lead anyone.
I think being in charge should just be like jury duty you just get a letter in the mail and now its your turn to mess shit up cause i mean lets see how bad it could really be
Being President of Iceland isn't much other then a political person that deals with foreign affairs. The president in a way doesn't hold too much power but we've had some decent presidents for a while now. Especially the current one, he's been excellent and has a very good public image.
If only it were that easy to run in the US... In the US, you apparently have to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to "apply" for a $450k/yr job 😶🤷🏽
So you're telling me theres a panicking grandma in iceland actualy calling her relatives to explain she needs help with internet because she accidently applied to run for presidency ? What a time to be alive
That would be awesome and amazing if this happened in the US I would love to run and do ads and show people how I m not like everyone else of these politicians.
Not going to lie, from the US perspective this is adorable. We're in an election year between 2 dudes far closer to death than life, and the system is even for us, its for the buyers of congress.

Those who never wanted Power are the most appropriate ones to be given Power. They lack the ambition to abuse it.
True
and the knowledge to use it.
@scallywag-rascal that's a toss up, and considering what's been going on for the last 15 years it might not be any worse.

That's why RFK is the perfect fit. He's been rejecting public office for decades. Not the best VP pick but he's the best candidate!

The whole "Running the country" is done by the prime minister, being President here is mostly shaking hands, showing up at events, and signing things.
If i was icelandic, i would vote for one of them. They probably do better than any career politician.
Given how small the population of Iceland is, one of these candidates can win, if a few hundred people vote on them "because it would be funny"
Can those six accidently sign up for POTUS? I would feel more comfortable them
Did anyone else read “six people accidentally-“ and noticed the preview pic was lava and immediately thought someone fell in?
Its official, Phillip is being held captive. We can hear that dungeon echo.

HOW DARE YOU INSULT 6 OF MY 12 NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS
To be fair, the person who is usually best suited for power does not go out looking for it
This gives “Parks and Rec vibes” and I’m all for it
I am running for president in Iceland. Whoops!
have you put your name in the cup harry? 😮
It’s a ceremonial position, their Prime Minister runs the Parliamentary Government.
its a small country so being president is kind of calm unless one of your towns falls apart due to a volcanic eruption
Worst job in the country, lmao. I guess so, huh? All that power; but all that responsibility too, haha.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that no person who seeks power is, in any way, suited to it

There are cities in the USA that have or had cats or dogs as mayor. With multiple terms. Nothing is crazy anymore.

Hey how do i join to enter the race?
Is Icelandic president ceremonial, executive, or hybrid?
Did anyone else hear "racist candidates"
What part of their signup was accidental and unknowing?
Maybe it's saying "100% of people who entered the race were trolling, but now have a legitimate chance of winning anyway"?
Why would you sign up for something that you don’t know what it’s for.. People are so dumb today lmao
being president is def not the worst job lol
