Socialist Party of Iceland
The Socialist Party of Iceland[6][7][8][a] (Icelandic: Sósíalistaflokkur Íslands; SFÍ) is a socialist political party in Iceland, which was founded on International Workers' Day (1 May) in 2017. HistoryAccording to Gunnar Smári the party already had 1,400 members at its foundation. At the beginning of May, a temporary board was selected at a meeting to prepare a "Socialist Congress" in the autumn of 2017.[10] Prior to the Congress the party selected four committees among its members by sortition, responsible for healthcare, housing, social welfare, and democratization of society.[11] The party did not contest the 2017 Althing elections, as it declared itself to be in a "build-up phase", but ran lists in Reykjavík and Kópavogur municipalities in the municipal elections on 26 May 2018.[12] In Reykjavík, they received one of 23 seats with 6.4% of the vote.[13] In the 2024 parliamentary election, the leading candidate of the Socialist Party is Sanna Magdalena Mörtudóttir.[14][15] Ideology and policiesThe architect behind the party is the editor and author Gunnar Smári, who at the launching of the party declared that it should be "an advocate for wage earners and all those who are poor, invisible and powerless. The opponents of the Socialist Party are the rich and those who serve their interests".[16] Main pointsAccording to the party’s website, the party’s main points in the party platform are:[17]
