Vöðvaflokkurinn

Vöðvaflokkurinn, which translates to "Muscle Group" in Icelandic, is a prominent political party in Iceland. Founded in 2017, it emerged from a desire to address what its founders perceived as a lack of focus on physical well-being and strength in national policy. The party's core platform emphasizes the importance of exercise, healthy lifestyles, and promoting a robust and active population.

While often viewed through a humorous lens due to its unconventional focus, Vöðvaflokkurinn has articulated a number of policy proposals. These include increased funding for sports facilities, mandatory physical education in schools, and incentives for businesses to encourage employee fitness. The party also advocates for policies that support mental health through physical activity.

Vöðvaflokkurinn has participated in Icelandic parliamentary elections, though it has not yet secured a seat. Its campaign messaging often centers on slogans related to strength, health, and national vitality. Despite its limited electoral success, the party has gained a degree of public recognition for its unique political stance and its consistent message. The party's activities are primarily driven by a dedicated base of supporters who believe in its vision for a healthier Iceland.
