As someone with no skin in the game, this is a super interesting result. Ind(21) + Pro(8) + Reg(7) = 36 Ind(21) + Pro(8) + Bri(4) = 33 Ind(21) + Pro(8) + Soc(3) = 32 Ind(21) + Reg(7) + Bri(4) = 32 Lef(10) + Pir(10) + Reg(7) + Bri(4) + Soc(3) = 34 If Independence Party and Progressive Party won't form with each other either then that essentially guarantees the Regeneration party and the Bright Future. Of course, as coalition governments around the world have shown, parties lie about what they will do initially in order to get a better deal. Basic negotiation strategy.

Yeah it's going to be really interesting whatever happens. As a point of clarification. The Independence Party and Progressive Party would be happy to form a government with each other, they think that overall they did great, and downplay the corruption that brought down the government. But they don't have enough following to do it on their own, and all the other parties they could form with have made commitments of not forming with those two together. Although both were deeply involved in the corruption that brought down the government, the PM was from the Progressives, and it lost a massive following in the election while the Independence party gained following. So it's politically untenable to work with the Progressives, but some parties might be willing to work with the Independence party. > Ind(21) + Reg(7) + Bri(4) = 32 This would be possible, and Bright Future isn't ruling it out: http://stundin.is/frett/bjort-framtid-utilokar-ekki-haegri-stjorn/ http://stundin.is/frett/bjort-framtid-utilokar-ekki-haegri-s... But a one party majority in parliament would be really precarious, and it would be very interesting to see what concessions have to get made. > Lef(10) + Pir(10) + Reg(7) + Bri(4) + Soc(3) = 34 This would also be a really interesting combination. The Regeneration party says they don't want to go into government with the Pirates, but who knows how much of this is political posturing. I don't think they have any inherent clash of political issues they couldn't both get over given some negotiation.
