Where they diverge
-
The reason for the rejection
- The Straits Times: The issues of fishing and independence had been decisive.
- Channel NewsAsia: The government has framed membership as a shield against trade wars and Arctic rivalry and presented the referendum as a "now or never" moment, with Prime Minister Kristrun Frostadottir warning that a "no" would put the membership question aside.
