Progressive Party (Iceland)

The Progressive Party (Iceland) is a centrist political party in Iceland, founded in 1916. It traditionally represents rural and farming communities, advocating for agricultural interests, decentralization, and social welfare. Over the years, it has balanced economic development with social policies, often participating in coalition governments. Its platform emphasizes sustainability, rural revitalization, and maintaining Iceland’s independence in decision-making. Although rooted in agrarian roots, it has adapted to modern issues, striving to address both urban and rural concerns within Iceland’s political landscape.
