List of Prime Ministers of Iceland (the Minister of Iceland 1904-1917)
Note about the coloring: Every combination which appears at least twice has been assigned a color. The Conservative Party is an ancestor of the Independence Party and here counted as such.
Note about Magnús Guđmundsson: Jón Magnússon died 23 June 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 8 July 1926, but as the PM was dead, it seemed proper to include the acting PM in the list.

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.
