Don't take me too seriously. Sometimes I don't understand politics.

I wouldn't dream of taking seriously anyone who always does. It's a clear mark of a derelict character.

I don't take things always seriously, though maybe I'm derelict.

Modified my sentence to make the meaning clearer. As you do not always understand politics, it is okay to take you seriously. Those who always understand politics are of derelict character.

If people really are mad at the Social Democrats for not being left-wing enough, I'm surprised they aren't giving the Green-Left a shot. After all, they almost came in second last time.

Well, Green Left were also in the government that wasn't left-wing enough...

How about developping some genuinely leftwing alternative.

This result should make SDG the new prime minister, he has got an equal number of seats to IP and he is "the man in the middle" and can chose a centrist government if he wants to. IPs bargaining position is too weak to claim it despite getting the most votes.

If any of you guys have some spare time it would be interesting to see how the seats would have been distributed under the constitution bill rules = Iceland as one constituency and no threshold, so 1/63 gives you a seat.
