Looks like the Pirate Party’s gain in seats came out at the Progressive’s expense. Seems people there want their leftism more anarchist than totalitarian.

To: Paine in the Neck

Words like “progressive” often mean different things in the politics of different countries. In Iceland, the Progressive Party is an agrarian and populist-type center-right party.

It has, over the years, evolved from a center party to a center-right party. Formerly, it sometimes joined with left-of-center parties to form a government, and sometimes with right-of-center parties. Nowadays, it is firmly center-right. For a time, it joined with the center-left in being open to joining the EU. Today, it is definitely opposed to EU membership.
