Main electoral priorities

We pledge to:

• bring about a revolution in green energy – Iceland should be a leader in energy exchange by harnessing green domestic energy;

• lower taxes – benefitting both households and businesses;

• safeguard patients’ right to healthcare – a new healthcare insurance system putting people first, not the system itself;

• pursue a digital revolution in health and welfare services;

• conduct a full-scale review of the insurance system for senior citizens – income tax personal allowance to be raised immediately to ISK 200,000;

• reorganise the social security system for the disabled – fostering financial independence and increasing employment opportunities;

• foster a more dynamic and diverse economy – lower levies, simpler regulation and incentives for innovation;

• ensure free international trade – further opening up worldwide markets for Icelandic exports;
