Good Conclusion To A Poor Decision

Steingrímur has allowed the whaling quota to stand for this year.  This news comes really as no surprise.  I had stated previously that this was a lose/lose proposition for him and it would have been best, politically, to let this be decided by the new government in the spring.  His party will be upset but Steingrímur was faced with a possible vote of no confidence by the Parliament.  How foolish it would have been to throw away the hopes of the new government on such an issue.  Apparently Steingrímur saw it this way too.  So having really no choice he allowed the quota to stand.  A very good decision.  Too bad reviewing the quota was such a poor one.
