Social Democratic Party (Iceland)
The Social Democratic Party ( is, Alþýðuflokkurinn), officially the People's Party, was a social-democratic political party in Iceland. It was founded in 1916, as the political representation of the trade unions of Iceland. History In 1920 its first member of the Althing, the Icelandic parliament, Jón Baldvinsson was elected.
