Citizens' Party (Iceland, 1987)
The Citizens' Party () was a right-wing populist political party in Iceland which was formed in a split from the Independence Party in 1987. It disintegrated slowly until it ceased to exist in 1994. Albert Guðmundsson was a minister for the Independence Party. However, after being implicated in a large financial lawsuit concerning the defunct shipping company Hafskip, he was deemed to be unsuitable to continue holding such office by his fellow party members. In protest, he resigned from the party to form the Citizens' Party and with him went a significant number of other members. 1987 was an election year and The Citizen's Party managed a remarkable feat, having 7 members elected to the Alþingi. In 1989, Albert resigned as chairman and was appointed as Iceland's ambassador to France.
