LONDON\u2014Katrin Jakobsdottir, the leader of Iceland’s Left Green Movement, was named as the Nordic island nation’s prime minister Thursday after three parties formed a broad governing coalition in hopes of moving the country out of the cycle of crises that triggered three elections in the past four years.<\/p>\n

The coalition, which includes parties from both sides of the political spectrum, was announced following more than a month of talks. Iceland has been roiled by partisan divisions since its economy was ravaged by the global financial crisis.<\/p>\n

The conservative Independence Party, which led the previous government, took the largest share of the vote in the Oct. 28 election, but failed to secure a majority in the parliament, known as the Althingi.<\/p>\n

The Left Green Movement finished second with 17 per cent. A record eight parties won seats.<\/p>\n

A series of scandals that began with the collapse of Iceland’s three major banks in 2008 gave voters a sense of fatigue and caused rapid turnover in the Althingi.<\/p>\n

Jakobsdottir, who had been a favourite to win, said before the election that she would emphasize stability and consensus decision-making.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat may be the most radical approach in today’s political climate \u2014 stability,\u201d Jakobsdottir, 41, said in an interview with The Associated Press at the time.<\/p>\n

Jakobsdottir holds a graduate degree in Icelandic literature and is now among the world’s youngest leaders.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Left Green Movement, the Independence Party and the Progressive Party will form the governing coalition, giving the government 35 seats in the 63-seat Althingi.<\/p>\n

Jakobsdottir’s cabinet will be comprised of three members of her Left Green Party, five from the Independence Party and three from the Progressive Party.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the new government, parties spanning the political spectrum from left to right intend to establish a new tone,\u201d a statement issued by the new prime minister’s office said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
