Anybody know Icelandic politics? I only speak English fluently, some German, and less Spanish. The google translator doesn't have Icelandic in the list, so I can't read any of their political sites. I know the easily available stuff on Iceland, but that's usually facts and history, light on current events or analysis.
Independence Party - old party, formed in '29 by a merger of Conservatives and Liberals, center-right, pro-NATO
Social Democratic Alliance - formed 2000 by old SDP, Women's Alliance, section of People's ALliance
Progressive Party - liberal party, formed 1916 by Farmer's Party and Independent Farmers
Left Green Movement - formed in '98 by some of People's Alliance (which was a '68 collection of Socialist Unity Party and Social Dems), anti-NATO
Liberal Party - founded '98 by former Minister, social liberals
It's awfully hard to find stuff, they're so small and neutral that they're almost completely ignored.
