Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

The Alþing consists of 63 seats, elected through proportional representation from six constituencies with 9 members each.

9x6 = 54, so there must be seven constituencies.

Bush is a symptom, not the disease.

Oh, d'oh! I've misplaced nine seats, which are allocated on the basis of the nation-wide vote. Thanks for pointing it out!

Ah, a variation on the mixed member system, how enlightened.
