On Election Day, you choose what happens next.
Will Reykjavík keep waiting, or will we start fixing what matters — right now?
We want to shift the discussion from general statements to clear solutions, presented in plain language. The goal is to show what we intend to do and to start with what matters most to people, immediately. In Icelandic, STRAX is NOW!
Address by Hildur Björnsdottir, leader of X-D in Reykjavík
"We need to reshuffle the deck in the city. Break the stalemate, get things moving, and take big steps toward progress. Immediately next term, life for residents of the city should become easier, everyday life simpler, and the city more efficient. Because there is so much we can do right now." - Hildur Björnsdóttir

Reykjavík is Eidur Smári in 1998
Many middle-aged football fans remember Eiður Smári Guðjohnsen's short stay at KR in 1998. The star had been injured for a long time, and his physical condition had deteriorated accordingly. Everyone knew that Eidur Smári was far too good for KR and the Icelandic league, but he had been written off abroad after a long-term injury.
Faster between places
Improving transportation in Reykjavík is a quality of life issue. The Independence Party wants to pay for traffic so that people can get between places faster. Freedom and choice of diverse transportation must be ensured and control over citizens must be abandoned. One mode of transportation should not exclude another – the future should include freedom of choice and flexibility.
