The results of the Icelandic election were overwhelmingly positive; not only did Samfylkingin slay the monster that was Sjalfstaedhisflokkurinn, but the fascists of Frjalslynda were kicked out of the Althing. The only downside is that Vinstrihreyfing-Graent Frambodh didn’t knock Sjalfstaedhisflokkurinn into third, but you can’t have everything. I’ve used the Icelandic names for the parties because Icelandic is a beautiful language. Other parties include Borgarahreyfingen and Framsoknarflokkurinn. And it should not be forgotten that Samfylkingin was originally (and quite a while ago now) formed out of Althydhubandalagith (well, parts of it), Althydhuflokkurinn and Samtok um Kvennalista. A great language.
