World gets its first gay leader

Former air hostess to be sworn in as Icelandic premier after economic collapse

The first government collapse of the global economic crisis is about to yield the world's first openly-gay leader. Johanna Sigurdardottir, a former air hostess, is expected to be sworn in as Iceland's Prime Minister by the end of the week.

Her moment in the international spotlight comes at the most horrendous moment in her nation's recent history. As the global meltdown began, the collapse of Iceland's grossly over-leveraged economy was followed smartly by the implosion of its banks and currency. Now its government has gone the same way, the first to succumb to the backwash from the crisis.

Ms Sigurdardottir's party, the Social Democrat Alliance, was asked to form a new government but its leader is taking a leave of absence to recover from treatment for a benign tumour. And so, "Saint Johanna", as she has come to be known, has been propelled from the social affairs ministry – which she has presided over for a decade – to take centre stage in a choice hailed as "unexpected but brilliant".

All joking aside, this is very historic as well. Best of luck to her and Iceland.

As a citizen of a country, I wouldn't care who was the leader/President/PM so long as they have majority (popular) support, are smart, fair and just.

I cannot tell if you are joking about the title of this thread or not... I never can tell on this board.

One got to love Iceland.

1. Still giving children the surname containing the fathers or mothers forename.
Way to go - how awesome would be Peter Johnsson or Laura Clairesdaughter?


2. Has an official elf/troll-commissioner.

2. Totally ruined.
