The final election result
www.ruv.is
The final outcome of yesterday’s Alþingi election is now clear, following final figures from the northeast and southwest constituencies. The three parties in the last government boost their majority

:brainworms: everywhere.

They would maybe have got an MP in if there was no 5% threshhold.

The bloomer take is that the government collapses due to disagreements about who becomes prime minister, and a center left coalition emerges. It's not likely.

    Cool how they "equalized" the elected parliament by forcing it to go from 33 women and 30 men to 33 men and 30 women.

      It was an honest counting error apparently. There is a convoluted system of equalization seats, and a wrong count in one constituency has a domino effect on the rest of them. This is where every vote counts.

      Some parties have demanded a recount in a another constituency where 7 votes were between two parties.
