But what seems to unite Icelandic labour movement and our oligarchs is a belief that their position would be weaker in the EU
The oligarchs are right. They are small fry compared the EU's oligarchs and would be eaten alive in direct competition. Same applies to our banks and retailers. The EEA was already a body blow (currently Boozt is eating our retailer's lunch)
The left's antipathy stems from seeing the EU as a fundamentally capitalist project. (Not wrong, but also not that simple)
