Stealing the Limelight

Framsóknarflokkurinn has done it once again.  The first time was by giving conditional support to the new government, carefully steering closer to their agenda. They let everybody know right then who is in really in charge with the threat of a no confidence vote.  They have even used the threat, single handedly saving whaling in Iceland.  And now we have Höskuldur, probably a little bitter over the "hey you won/oops sorry , you lost" fiasco at the party elections, stealing the moment away from VG and Samfylkingin ( and in a small way, his own party) and twisting it into a "look how cautious, lets do it right" moment , mostly for him, but also(in a small way) for Framsóknarflokkurinn.  It does put the party in a slightly dangerous position,  exposing a small fracture within, leaving Birkir Jón with some work to do in the primary. But the Seðlabanki bill will get passed this week, and until it does, Framsóknarflokkurinn is in the news because of it; giving them the spotlight to show their economic rescue plan.  The revelation her is that VG and Samfylkingin are powerless without Framsóknflokkurinn,  But Framsóknarflokkurinn has to be careful not to ruin the opportunity they gave themselves. A tight rope to walk, but so far, so good.
