Ásmundur Einar Dadason, who recently ceased working for the Left-Green Movement in parliament, has now joined the opposition’s Progressive Party. In a statement the MP said he was impressed by the party’s policy and its development through the leadership of Sigmundur Davíd Gunnlaugsson.

In that the party demonstrated a firm policy and stood by the majority of the nation from day one,” Dadason wrote, according to visir.is. Dadason was elected to parliament for the Left-Greens in 2009. In April he left the party’s parliamentary group, stating that the main reason for this move being that he doesn’t support the government’s policy on having Iceland join the European Union.
