    And how else do you expect iceland to join when the eu requires a referendum to be had in the joinimg country? Also iceland(from what i know) has a muuuuch smaller faschism problem than most other countries in the world

      the EU don’t require a referendum? Never have, probably won’t in future either.

      They don’t particularly care how it gets decided as long as the request to join is officially recognised by the government of the country.

      Some joined by unilateral decision by Party Voting (internal voting of the leading party)

      Some joined by request of their allies

      Some joined when the country reunified (East and West Germany)

      Some joined by their Legal Court putting the motion into a Bill which was voted on by their Parliament
