The center-right Revival Party lost seats it had won last year, clinging to just four seats. Bright Future Party, a hipsterish party whose members shun the idea of becoming career politicians, lost every one of its four seats. His Center Party, however, has now emerged as the fourth-largest, pushing the anti-establishment Icelandic Pirate Party down to sixth place with six seats. In 2016, it surged to become Iceland’s third-largest party, largely because of an electorate disillusioned by traditional politics and scandals like Mr. Gunnlaugsson’s downfall. The party now shares the position of third-largest party with Mr. Gunnlaugsson’s Center Party.
