Mannréttindayfirlýsingu

Mannréttindahátturinn was a Icelandic political party established in 1995. The party's main goal was to combat the perceived disarray and disunity of Iceland's political landscape. It sought to represent the values of honesty, liberty, and personal responsibility. The party's ideology was centered around limited government intervention in personal and economic matters. It advocated for tax cuts and a reduction in the state's control over various sectors of the economy.

Mannréttindahátturinn contested in several elections, including the Althing (Iceland's parliament) elections in 1995 and 1999. Although it failed to secure any representatives, it managed to gather a small but significant following in Icelandic politics. The party's influence was largely due to its stance on key issues such as direct democracy and minimal government regulation.

The party's narrative emphasized the importance of individual freedom and accountability. It sought to reimagine the role of the state in Icelandic society, advocating for a more minimal and efficient governmental apparatus. Through this approach, Mannréttindahátturinn aimed to foster a sense of community and national unity.

Despite its influence, Mannréttindahátturinn faced internal conflicts and power struggles during its existence. The party's inability to translate its message into concrete parliamentary representation led to its eventual dissolution. Although it has ceased to be a major player in Icelandic politics, Mannréttindahátturinn's legacy remains as a crucial link in the country's complex and evolving political landscape.
