<Zarutian> le/rn Frams\xc3\xb3knarflokkurinn/A, now defunct, political party in Iceland. Like its sister party Sj\xc3\xa1lfst\xc3\xa6\xc3\xb0isflokkurinn it is named by the antonym of what it is. (The name means the Progressive Party but they have nearly always been highly regressive). Think dumb Hill-Billies in ill fitting suits and you get their constiuents.
