The Complete Idiot's Guide to Icelandic Politics

To clarify the political situation for my non-Icelandic friends who keep asking me "What's up with Iceland?", I've put together a short list of the current political parties and a summary of what it looks like each of them stands for.

 I've been living abroad for some years now so some of the names may not be 100% accurate.

Ósjálfstæðisflokkurinn - X-Douh!
The name says it all - main agenda seems to be already accomplished after 12 years at the wheel.
Yes, of course it was a pure coincidence that those companies "donated" 45 millions right before they magically got their problems sorted out through political pressure.  Why would anyone connect the two?... Honestly?
See The Legend of Robbin' Hood.

Brandarahreyfingin - X -Ha
Seriously - who believes you're going to disband the party once you reach your political goals?  I did however like the guy on TV that said "Hanging on to the Icelandic Krona as a currency today is like owning a summer cottage in Chernobyl", he's getting my vote.
You had me at Chernobyl!

Skammfylkingin - X-Ess
Not really sure about this one - seems to be some sort of extremist middle party with an identity crisis that had gotten tired of being in the opposition and grabbed the chance at the last election to abandon their political principles in exchange for a couple of seats on the government.
They've somehow managed to dodge all the blame and association with the current crisis, even if they were a part of the last government.
Lie down with dogs - You get fleas

Skrílræðishreyfingin - X - Á
Mr. Crazypants himself leads the celebration but there are a couple of indians missing from the canoe - You don't want to meet those eyes in a dark alley late at night.
Has everyone really forgotten the SMS scam from a few years back where an attempt was made to trick people into donating money?
I'm not a crook - Richard Nixon

Vinstri Glærir - X - Ææ
Has probably the only political leader in Iceland that still has a general vote of confidence from the nation.  I never did like him as a sports reporter though, too much focus on fringe sports.....we want football, goddammit not horse riding and ice skating!  Vote for them if you don't like strippers.
Me love you long time - Full Metal Jacket

Farsóttarflokkuinn - X-Bee
Yet another party with an identity crisis - all the farmers moved to Reykjavik and became bankers.
Also got substantial amounts of 'donations' from companies which needed favours.  It's also a complete coincidence that said favours were delivered shortly afterwards.
Also spent 12 years in government until they were backstabbed after the last elections, which was probably their biggest political break in retrospect as nobody now seems to blame them for the current crisis.
Money, Money, money....must be funny...in the rich man's world - ABBA
