Provincial party?

[edit]

What is that called in Icelandic and what are the sources for its existence and plans? --Bjarki (talk) 01:00, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the local name and website for the new Provincial Party: Landsbyggðarflokkurinn. Danish Expert (talk) 11:56, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

barring clause

[edit]

Is there a barring clause in Iceland. --134.176.205.228 (talk) 22:03, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean by barring clause but there is a election threshold of 5% nationwide when it comes to distribution of the leveling seats. --Bjarki (talk) 10:59, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Poll from 24-4

[edit]

There is missing a poll from 24-4 from Fréttablaðið-Stød. I am not good at this, but if someone wants to include it, the numbers are here.--Orakologen (talk) 19:54, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, for some reason it wasn't posted at the national broadcasting website (ruv.is). I found a link in mbl.is archive of polls. --4idaho (talk) 14:55, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Changes from when?

[edit]

In the results table, the changes are given compared to the situation just before the election. In other articles, changes are usually given compared to the last election. Either way we do it, and we could do both, it should probably be made clear which comparison is being made. Bondegezou (talk) 19:21, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It should compare with the 2009 election results. It is also false to say that Pirates, Dögun, Bright Future and Regnboginn had MPs. These parties did not exist in parliament even if unaffiliated parliamentarians identify with these political parties. --Bjarki (talk) 18:09, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Two Jokes

[edit]

I'm sure this doesn't belong here, but I had to share it. Sturla Jónsson was not able to vote for his own party, since the party Sturla Jónsson was only up for the election in Reykjavík South, whereas the voter Sturla Jónsson himself is and was registered in Reykjavík North. The second one is that the founder of the Right-Green Party turned out to be not eligible. So he couldn't stand. Voting systems can be weird.

It is widely believed or at least stated in Iceland, that the only person who understands the Icelandic voting system is the mathematician who invented it, Þorkell Helgason. Making the country a single voting district would at least simplify a great deal, and also make it more democratic. As it is, we don't have a one voter - one vote system. And since the voting population is less than 300.000, how hard could that be? All the best 85.220.22.139 (talk) 17:45, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Problem in paragraph on turnout

[edit]

Something went wrong at the beginning of the sentences:

"By 20, 9 April 582 people had voted […] an increase of approximately 1,400 votes" -- should that be "9,582"?

Similarly:

"By 26 24 April 850 people had voted"

I hope this not some kind of bot editing gone wrong.

Cheers,
