lagðar

Lagðar, also known as lagðarflokkurinn, is a political party in Iceland. The party was founded in 1999 by Árni Páll Árnason, who served as the party's leader until his death in 2018. The party's name translates to "The Movement" in English. Lagðar is a center-right political party, and its platform includes support for free market economics, social conservatism, and Icelandic independence. The party has been a member of the Icelandic parliament, the Althing, since 2003. Lagðar has been known for its strong stance on environmental issues, advocating for sustainable development and protection of natural resources. The party has also been a vocal critic of the European Union, advocating for Iceland to maintain its independence. Lagðar has had a relatively small number of seats in the Althing, typically ranging from 1 to 3. The party's most significant electoral success was in 2013, when it won 4 seats. In recent years, Lagðar has faced challenges, including internal divisions and a decline in support. Despite these challenges, the party continues to be an important part of Iceland's political landscape.
