Reykjavík mayor signs an agreement on nothing
As you might have noticed, Reykjavík’s mayor is not your average cup of tea. Jón Gnarr met with the Pirate Party from Berlin in the famous Höfði building where Gorbotsjov and Reagan signed the treaty that ended the Cold War. However this time around, they signed a treaty on “nothing”.
Their rationale for this was that politicians are always signing agreements on this and that but in a year’s time they’ve probably forgotten what it was about and done nothing. Christopher from the Pirate Party found this new approach a lot more honest.

The mayor of Reykjavík is not your average mayor. His name is Jón Gnarr and he has been one of Iceland’s favorite comedians. After some troubled times in city hall Jón formed Besti flokkurinn (The Best Party) and ran for mayor. Despite promising to give easy high paying jobs to all of his friends, buying a polar bear for the Reykjavík petting zoo and breaking all of his promises he succeeded with a large margin.
