Iceland held a parliamentary election on Saturday. The incumbent government was a coalition of the Social Democratic Alliance and the Left-Green Movement. Here are the results, the 2009 figures are in brackets)

• Independence Party – 26.7% (+9.6%) – 19 seats (+10)
• Progressive Party – 24.4% (+3%) – 19 seats (+3)
• Social Democratic Alliance – 12.9% (-16.9%) – 9 seats (-10)
• Left-Green Movement – 10.9% (-10.8%) – 7 seats (-4)
• Bright Future – 8.3% – 6 seats – new
• Pirate Party – 5.1% – 3 seats – new

No other party crossed the 5% threshold.

This is the first time that the Pirate Party has won a seat at a national election.

There are various combinations that might generate a new government, but a coalition of the Independence Party and the Progressive Party is probably most likely.
