Polls suggest there won't be an outright winner in Saturday's parliamentary election, triggering complex negotiations to build a coalition government. A record eight parties could cross the 5 percent threshold needed to qualify for seats in the Icelandic parliament, the Althingi. Upstart parties are benefiting from a series of scandals affecting the ruling Independence Party. Political analysts say the most likely outcome eventually is a coalition government led by Katrin Jakobsdottir of the Left Green Movement. The 41-year-old Jakobsdottir holds a graduate degree in Icelandic literature.
