Politicians shouldn't automatically gain respect because of their position. @Mike Smith – If people are prevented from insulting their Prime Minister, then no-one would ever write about Gordon Brown again.

As to sexism claim, coming from a party ( Social Democrats ) that is so incredibly sexist itself — with its pet project idea of forcing a quota of women onto boards of Iceland public companys.. just because they are women — this claim of Sigmundur Ernir is a bit rich.

Really this man is a nitwit.

His slurred performance in late night parliament a few months ago+ and this speech really do mean he should keep quiet, because he is not helping his self or his party.

The three verses from our epic poem Hávamál I mentioned before do of course apply to him as well.

But being that he clearly spends his time reading books about how the EU parliament and commission work ( ready for his new dream role in EU ) he is probably completely ignorant of this aspect his heritige :
