Centre Party (Iceland)
Political party in Iceland / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Centre Party (Icelandic: Miðflokkurinn) is a Nordic agrarian, populist[3] and conservative political party in Iceland, established in September 2017.[5][6][7] It split from the Progressive Party due to leadership disputes, when two factions decided to band up as a new party before the 2017 Icelandic parliamentary election. The Centre Party belongs to the Nordic agrarian party family; like many parties in Iceland, is Eurosceptic.
