Politics of the Faroe Islands Political parties Elections |
Nýtt Sjálvstýri (previously Sjálvstýrisflokkurin) (English: New Self-Government, but sometimes still referred to as the Home Rule Party) is a liberal[2] and autonomist[3] political party in the Faroe Islands. It is currently led by the Mayor of Klaksvík Jógvan Skorheim.[4]
Nýtt Sjálvstýri traditionally supported greater autonomy for the Faroes within the Kingdom of Denmark, but in 1998 it agreed, as part of a coalition deal with Tjóðveldi and Fólkaflokkurin, to support national independence for the Faroes. Today it supports obtaining independence through gradually increasing Faroese autonomy until the Faroe Islands becomes a de facto independent state.
At the 2008 election to the Løgting, the party won 7.2% of the popular vote and 2 out of 33 seats. In early elections in 2011, the party's vote fell to 4.2% and it lost one seat.[5] At the 2011 election to the Løgting, the party won 4% of the votes and got 2 members elected.[6]
