Iceland goverment collapse ! today !
This morning ,both goverment parties ,Independence party and Social democratic alliance ( SDA ) had meetings ,and at around 13:00 hours ( gmt ) prime minister Geir Haarde,( independence party ) told at a press meeting ,that the goverment had resigned.
Foreign secretary and party chairman to the SDA ,Ingibjorg S. Gisladottir , told the press ,that she wanted to have on of the ministers in her party ,to be Prime minister.
Geir Haarde could not accept that proposal.
At 16:00 hours he went to the President of Iceland ,and told him formally that goverment would resign.

The president told the press,that he would talk to evry party chairmen tonight . And see what ideas they had for the future of the ICelandic goverment.
Update --
Ingigbjorg S. Gisladottir ( SDA ) foreing secretary and chairman of the SDA party had demaded that ,Johanna Sigurdardotti ,minister of social and insurance,be Prime minister.
That the Independence party could not accept,and that is why the govermnet had to resign.
Now, Ingibjorg ,has offerd the pther parties the same offer,where Johanna would lead the goverment until the elections may 9th.
National goverment ( every party takes part in that ) is the best soultuion ,says Geir Haarde,but under his control ,he says.
Sigrun blames the Independence party,for much of the economic collapse .
looks like everybody is fighting for chairs in the goverment,but not on how to save the economy
,and the people of Iceland.
People who are now protesting ,say that they dont like the arrogance of the ministers.
They should be trying to find a solution for the crisis, not arguing who gets the prime minster chair.
