Note about Magnús Guđmundsson: Jón Magnússon died June 23 1926. Magnús Guđmundsson acted as PM until Jón Ţorláksson could be reached. Officially the third cabinet of Jón Magnússon is said to have been in office until July 8 1926, but as the PM was dead, it seemed proper to include the acting PM in the list.

All but two parties are labelled extinct. That only means that they no longer exist under those names. Apart from the Independence Party and the Progressive Party, the following possess parliamentary seats: The Union of Leftists (Samfylkingin, mostly former Social Democrats), The Left-Green Movement (Vinstri hreyfingin - grćnt frambođ, mostly former Socialists) and The Liberal Party (Frjálslyndi flokkurinn, followers from all over the spectrum). Those last three have never been in government in their current incarnations.
