Løgtingswahl 1980

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1980 Løgtingswahl in the Faroe Islands took place on November 8, 1980. It was the 9th election since internal self-government ( heimastýri ) was obtained in 1948.

In this early election, in addition to the unionist Sambandsflokkurin , the social democratic Javnaðarflokkurin of Prime Minister Atli Dam and his coalition partner Tjóðveldisflokkurin were the losers of the election. The Javnaðarflokkurin had to give up a seat so that the left-dominated government no longer had a majority.

The lost votes of the three above parties were evenly divided between the winning parties Fólkaflokkurin, Sjálvstýrisflokkurin and Framburðsflokkurin, with the Sjálvstýrisflokkurin winning one seat.

The result of the election led to the social democratically led state government Atli Dam III being replaced by the unionist led state government Pauli Ellefsen . The Tjóðveldisflokkurin left the government and the election winners Fólkaflokkurin and Sjálvstýrisflokkurin became government partners of the Sambandsflokkurin in the new coalition. It was the first purely civil coalition in the Faroe Islands in over 20 years.
