When he was voted in a highly organised coop, the chairman of the Progressive party, he no longer spoke on behalf of the group. He was still seen with them and plays a very important part there. Or should we say that the group plays an important part in his politics. The Indefence group not works directly in sync with the Progressive party, and act as an informal tool on the parties behalf.
When putting people on lists for the elections last spring, Sigmundur Davíð had the audacity to put Magnús Árni, his good friend to be second on the list, a seat that would almost guarantee him a seat in parliament. Other members of the party protested this act and claimed that the party had a long history of personal connections and political favours to friends, and this was not the time or the place to show everyone that it was still so. The suggestion was withdrawn.
Now Magnús Árni Skúlason was voted on behalf of parliament to sit in the Supervisory Board of the Central Bank of Iceland. At the same time he is actively campaigning for Indefence. The political favours just keep on happening.

A reminder that the Progressive Party under Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson’s leadership is operating under the false image of having renewed itself.
