History
The party was established in 1983 by Vilmundur Gylfason, as a breakaway from the Social Democratic Party.[2] It won four seats in the Althing in the April elections that year, although Vilmundur died later that year. In 1986 all of its parliamentary members left the party, with three members joining the Social Democratic Party and one joining the Independence Party.[1] The party failed to win a seat in the 1987 elections,[3] with its vote share falling from 7.3% to just 0.2%.[4]
