Alliance (Iceland)
The
Alliance
(
Samfylkingin
) is a
political party
in
Iceland
. It is
social democratic
and the main opposition party. It was born before the parliamentary elections in
1999
after a merger of the four
left wing
parties that existed in
Iceland
before that time: the
Social Democratic Party
(
Aluflokkurinn
), the
People's Alliance
(
Alubandalagi
), the
Womens's Alliance
(
Samtk um kvennalista
) and the
National Movement
(
jvaki
). This was a deliberate attempt to unify the entire centre-left of Icelandic politics into one party to become a balance against the
right wing
Independence Party
. This attempt failed as a group of
Alingi
representatives did not approve of the agenda this new party was to follow, similar to the agenda of
Tony Blair's
Labour Party
. They left before the merger and founded the
Left-Green Movement
(
Vinstrihreyfingin - grnt frambo
), based on more traditional left values and environmental issues. The current chairman of the party is
ssur Skarphinsson
,
MP
. Vice chairman is the former mayor of
Reykjavk
,
Ingibjrg Slrn Gsladttir
