Haha, that was priceless. So basically Reykjavik had its 4th mayoral election in 3yrs, and people were fed up; so one of the most well known comedians in Iceland Jon Gnarr decided to run as a comedy idea, calling themselves the 'Best Party'. Oddly enough with all the frustration for politicians these days his party won so he can become Mayor in Reykjavik, the whole city runs like a parliamentary election here, he didn't win a majority but got most seats for the Reykjavik chamber (like our aldermen) and formed the government with another party.
Then there is the hilarious video for their party, "simply the best"
