The Flokkur Heimilanna ( German : Housekeeper Party , FH for short , Party letter I ) is a small party in Iceland .

history

The party was founded by the merger of eight small parties in April 2013 shortly before the upcoming parliamentary election . Pétur Gunnlaugsson became the first party chairman . In the 2013 parliamentary election, the party won around three percent of the vote. So she failed at the five percent hurdle and could not send a member of the national parliament Althing . Due to its result, however, it was entitled to a state contribution to its financing , which in Iceland is due to those parties that received at least 2.5 percent of the vote in the general election.

In an article in the online portal of the Icelandic broadcaster RÚV from November 2015, the low level of activity of the party was discussed - its website was closed and the party's Facebook account has not shown any activity since the 2013 elections. Although the party had announced that it would run for the general election in Iceland in 2016 , it was ultimately not represented in the list of the parties.

program

In its program , the party advocates, among other things:

  • the tax system is to be simplified and taxes gradually reduced
  • the natural resources of the country should be better protected
  • the freedom of information should be promoted and in the Icelandic Constitution be anchored
  • Iceland is not supposed to join the EU
