Missing from the discussion on the referendum here in Iceland on reopening negotiations with the EU is that even if "yes" wins both referenda (negotations and then joining), joining is extremely unlikely to actually happen
It would require changing our constitution, which requires a law to pass in two parliaments separated by a parliamentary election. In practice, this means "join the EU" would need to win four public votes: two referenda and very likely two elections
