The Lithuanian Greens dominated the second round and added 53 seats in total. Their total of 54 seats (out of 141) will be the most for any party since the wake of the Communist Party and its successor falling apart in 1996.
Meanwhile in Iceland which votes Saturday, the Pirate Party (~21%) and Left-Greens (~18%) are the two of the three leaders in polls now. No party except the Social Democrats briefly in 2009 and for a year at the end of the 1950s has been the main party in Iceland outside of the dominant two parties, Progressive Party and Independence Party, since 1927. Progressives and Social Democrats are now polling at around 9% and 7%. They got 24% and 13% in 2013 and 15% and 30% in 2009. Independence Party (~21%) is basically running now on how the millennials are going to destroy Iceland with their irresponsible voting. They were the Party in power when Iceland needed that bailout.
Pirates have collapsed since the start of the year, they at one point were polling at 41-43% something which hasn't been done by a single party since 1974.
Also polling up is the liberal-ish split off of the Independence Party, Vioreisn. They've been between 6-12% in last weeks polls. They had been around 3%. The other liberal party Bright Future has also moved up after dropping but is still polling slightly under its 2013 result of 8%. Both are pro-EU parties. In 2014 BF peaked at 20% in the polls for a while.
Blue = Independence, Dark Purple = Pirates, Bright Purple = Bright Future, Orange = Vioreisen, Red = Social Democrats, Light Green = Progressive
I assume a bulk of the "others" must be Dawn which I guess would best be described as maybe the anti-EU liberal-ish party? It's a merger of three parties that immediately lost two-thirds of their vote and all its seats so it's kinda got a confused platform still.
Iceland's sometimes a fun country to watch elections in because it's kinda more like a small city. And everyone has great Viking names. Also probably people eating that terrible brined shark or whatever it is. Ugh, what a horrible people.
They jailed their bankers too. Just uncouth.

I don't know what you do for a living, but imagine tomorrow, you and all your coworkers were fired and a collection of people off the street came in to do your jobs, because they knew in their hearts they could do a better job of it than you. How well would that work?
