Iceland appeared to have elected Europe’s first women-majority parliament, but a recount of votes showed that there will be more men than women in the chamber after all.

Iceland believed briefly Sunday it had become the first country in Europe to have a women-majority parliament after its election a day earlier, but a recount showed it fell short, an election official told AFP.

What people are saying?

Kara Auren Comments don’t appear to be from Iceland & Nordic countries, where equality is reality, so spare some pity. It’s hard to imagine something you’ve never had. People content themselves with poor governance, poor environment, poor working conditions, because they know no better.
