The biggest change in support in this weeks Iceland Gallup poll is for the Independence Party; but leader Bjarni Benediktsson told reporters he was not surprised. The recent banking crisis report had a foreseeable effect, he said, and it will take time to win people’s trust again.
After increasing in popularity in every opinion poll since the autumn, the Independence Party have now dropped six points to 28 percent – the same as the Left Greens who add four percent.
The Social Democrats are up two percent on 23 percent support and the Progressive party add a point and are on 14 percent.
There have been calls for fresh elections in some quarters and Bjarni Benediktsson says he would welcome such a move despite the slump in Independence Party support: his is still the biggest party in Iceland.
There has been prominent discussion of the support given from Icelandic banks and companies to politicians in the run up to the banking collapse but Benediktsson reiterated that
all his MPs are working hard to be totally transparent, to regain public trust and to maintain the good name of their party.
‘Benediktsson reiterated that all his MPs are working hard to be totally transparent, to regain public trust and to maintain the good name of their party.’
The only way that they can be totally transparent is to resign…he should do the honerable thing himself….what good name do they have???…please help me to translate…’dishonest…corrupt..self-serving..favouritism’…into Icelandic.
Independence Party loses out on post crash report poll. It seems a problem whom to trust now when mostly before and after the bank collapsed, those who were elected and entrusted were all quite with eyes bright open who did not hear and see what was going on, could not talk because the mounth was full and mostly selfserving with deep pockets. Information was selective and concern was more on the party rather than the needs and general welfare of others. On the streets the noise was loud and clear, even infront of the Parliament House but nobody listened. Others to escaped passed the back door.
The best and honorable thing to do is to resigned. Observed the Code of Ethics and performance wise to gain public trust and confidence for good government.
From this point on all must learn from this bad experienced and provide a better future for generations to come.
“Benediktsson reiterated that all his MPs are working hard to be totally transparent, to regain public trust and to maintain the good name of their party.”
SAY AGAIN: … all his MPs are working hard to be totally transparent, to regain public trust and to maintain the good name of ICELAND!
