Their election promises are hilarious



Besti Flokkurinn, the Best Party, was founded in 2009 by Jón Gnarr, an Icelandic actor, comedian and writer. The party has from the beginning admitted that it will not honour any of the promises given prior to elections. It claims all other parties are secretly corrupt, so it promises to be openly corrupt.
Among its original goals was to satirize common themes in Icelandic politics, partly by mimicking the standard phrases, idioms and jargon used by Icelandic politicians.
The party's first endeavor in politics is presenting a list of candidates for the local election in Reykjavík in 2010. Its platform includes free towels in all city swimming pools, a polar bear for the city zoo, a Disneyland at Vatnsmýri, the capital's airport and a drug-free Althing by 2020.
The party won the election, collecting 34.7% of the votes compared to the Independence Party's 33.6%. The party holds six of the fifteen seats on the local council.[3] Jón Gnarr is now mayor in coalition with the Social Democratic Alliance.[7]
