The U.S. is not the only country going through a government efficiency effort, but in Iceland, they’re taking a different approach. In an unusual twist on crowd-sourcing, Prime Minister Kristrún Frostadóttir has turned to the public for cost-cutting suggestions, sparking a wave of proposals ranging from the practical to the inventive. Within just hours, citizens submitted approximately 250 ideas, addressing everything from political spending to healthcare efficiency.

The passionate response underscores a common theme: the pursuit of smarter spending and a streamlined government. Bold suggestions include revisions to MPs’ benefits and even rethinking Iceland’s international presence. It seems everyone has an idea on how to tighten the nation’s purse strings.
