The Liberal Party (Icelandic: Frjálslyndi flokkurinn) was a short-lived political party in Iceland in the late 1920s.
History
The party was formed in 1927 by a group of MPs sitting under the Independence Party name.[1]
In 1923 the original Independence Party had allied with former members of the recently dissolved
Prime Minister Sigurður Eggerz
kept going under the Independence Party name until they formed the Liberal Party in 1927.
The Liberal Party contested the 1927 election, but only got Sigurður elected. In 1929 the party reunited with the Conservatives to establish the new Independence Party,[1] which became the dominant political force in Iceland.
