I doubt they’ll let their fishing industry get wrecked by EU fisheries. Until strict quotas and science based sustainable practices get immunization against lobbyists and pressure from foreign industries in larger countries, no fishery heavy country would want to join.

There are many countries in the queue and it can be a long process

Why they haven’t joined EU in the first place? Does is it have something to do with fishing?

The referendum is to ask Icelanders if Iceland should reopen negotiations with the EU, not (directly) if Iceland should join.
If the Icelanders vote ‚yes‘, there’s still time needed to negotiate the open ends (I imagine the fishing rights will be part of that, with Norway watching critically to see how much room the EU gives to negotiate on this topic).

Although in theory the referendum will only concern the opening of negotiations, in reality it will be a proxy vote on membership. Let’s see.

Wouldn’t get my hopes up.
Hungary will just veto it to be obstructionist.

Giving a country with sub-500k population just as much power as Germany, France, Italy, Spain, …
I can’t see any way how this could backfire.
