Bloomberg business news just ran a feature on Iceland's Pirate party and the fact that the party has topped polls for almost ten months.
"Should that support translate into real votes, it would win more than a third of the ballots, making it the biggest party in a country traditionally governed by coalitions," writes Bloomberg in the article which can be read HERE.
Speaking to Bloomberg, PM Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson says he's not too concerned .
"Asked in an interview in his office in Reykjavik how he would react to a Pirate victory, the prime minister said : "If it happens I will consider going into hiding until the next election... I’m kidding." Come 2017, the joke could be on him."
