Besti flokkurinn → Best Party (Iceland) Best Party — Seems to be form being used by the English-language press. (BBC, Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek) 84.92.117.93 (talk) 20:30, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

• Support a move to Best Party. The only other similarly named entity, the Best Party of Hawaii can be disambiguated with a hatnote. — AjaxSmack 02:11, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
• Support move, Best Party is the name the English language press uses and there is no need for the (Iceland) as per AjaxSmack. Davewild (talk) 07:33, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Modified the move request to Best Party without the "(Iceland)" disambiguation per above comments. 84.92.117.93 (talk) 20:57, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

• Support as this seems reasonable enough. ISD (talk) 06:44, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

SERIOUS Improvements Needed!

Why are the political positions numbered and listed in fragmented sentences? They're unsourced, and many of them make it seem like this is a "joke" party - the entire thing needs to be factchecked and sourced. Did the real party actually brag about lying to and manipulating people with free towels in their official political positions? I'm not from Iceland (I got to this page due to the Wikipedia Effect), but this entire section seems unsourced at best, and completely fictitious at worst.

The party is led by a comedian, and those numbered items are their official Party platform (See [1], and their official site). I suggest watching this. :)

Yes, they officially stated that they would promise undeliverable things, because that is what politicians do.

That said, yes I agree that the article could be tightened up a little, and expanded a lot. Please feel free to help do so. :) -- Quiddity (talk) 18:46, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
