The rise of M is shockingly fast in the last few months. I also understand the Vice President of M called the "Great Replacement Theory" a "fact" in November 2025. Plus, most of your immigrants are fellow Europeans and immigration has been declining since 2022. What happened in September 2025 to lead to this meteoric rise?

Sorry for posting in English, but this is really surprising to me.

  1. Same thing as in most European countries, right? The populist right is criticizing immigration and gaining massive traction.

  2. We don’t get it much ourselves. I guess they’re being extra vocal in their opposition, but I’m just assuming a part of this is the same buzz as the trumper party in the UK is getting. The media reporting this stuff gets better clicks if they keep talking up the popularity of a really polarizing party. I don’t remember any big immigrant fearmongering incident from late last year.

    Snorri Másson is just a Ben Shapiro fanboy who’ll start seeing roadblocks if he’s ever actually hit with a serious journalist who knows the modern alt right debating tactics. But maybe that’s just optimism talking.

  3. They are also getting traction from conservatives since conservative political parties here (D) and in Europe are pathetic

  4. I think partly it’s because people are sick of the traditional four party political hegemony and some of the ‘outside’ parties have not been doing well in the last few years. M is also fairly popular among farmers because they have a comprehensive farming/agriculture policy and are vocal about increasing the political equality of rural areas and urban regions, making rural areas more attractive to a wide range of people. But it is also because they are a populist party and they are quick to grasp and utilize various right-wing talking points that are considered ‘controversial’ in society, such as racism and homophobia. They’re also popular with younger people because they are very effective when it comes to social media

  5. I feel like racism is dramatically increasing here in the past few years. I’m an immigrant but have Icelandic citizenship and I’m not white. The amount of outright rudeness and racist microagressions I’ve faced in the past two years is more than in my previous 10 years living here.
