Unsurprisingly the first numbers indicate that the government of Social Democrats and Left Greens win a 53% majority and 35 out of 63 seats in Althingi. 

The Independence Party looks set to lose around 10 seats and the Progressives make an improvement. 

The Liberal Party is wiped out and the Democratic Movement only gets votes from its own family members. 

The Citizen’s Movement is on the verge of getting five seats, but might settle for four. 

The government holds but a twist in the tale is that there is a 54% majority for EU talks behind the Social Democrats, Progressives and the Citizen’s Movement.
