Liberal Party (Iceland)

The Liberal Party (Iceland) (Icelandic: Frjálslyndi flokkurinn) was a political party in Iceland. It was founded in 1998 by Sverrir Hermannsson, a former member of the Independence Party, and dissolved in 2012.

The party primarily focused on fisheries policy, advocating for the interests of small fishermen and coastal communities. Key policy positions included opposition to Iceland joining the European Union and the defense of Iceland's fishing resources. They also voiced concerns about immigration and advocated for stricter immigration policies.

The Liberal Party first entered Althingi (the Icelandic parliament) in the 1999 election, winning two seats. They achieved their best result in the 2003 election with four seats. However, their support declined in subsequent elections, and they failed to win any seats in the 2009 election. Following this electoral setback and internal disagreements, the party was officially dissolved in 2012.
