Note about the coloring: Every combination which appears at least twice has been assigned a color. The Conservative Party is an ancestor of the Independence Party and here counted as such. Note about Magns Gumundsson: Jn Magnsson died June 23 1926. Magns Gumundsson acted as PM until Jn orlksson could be reached. Officially the third cabinet of Jn Magnsson is said to have been in office until July 8 1926, but as the PM was dead, it seemed proper to include the acting PM in the list.

Abbreviations

HP: Home Rule Party (Heimastjrnarflokkurinn). Extinct.
IP: Independence Party (Sjlfstisflokkurinn).
LL: Association of Liberals and Leftists (Samtk frjlslyndra og vinstri manna). Extinct.

All but two parties are labelled extinct. That only means that they no longer exist under those names. Apart from the Independence Party and the Progressive Party, the following possess parliamentary seats: The Union of Leftists (Samfylkingin, mostly former Social Democrats), The Left-Green Movement (Vinstri hreyfingin - grnt frambo, mostly former Socialists) and The Liberal Party (Frjlslyndi flokkurinn, followers from all over the spectrum). Those last three have never been in government in their current incarnations. See also: List of Icelandic rulers
