Dawn (Iceland)

Political program

• Introduction of strong measures to support households: Such as abolition of indexation of consumer loans and generalized correction mortgage.
• New constitution: The party strongly supports passing the new constitution formulated by the constitutional assembly appointed by parliament in 2011.
• Composition of natural resources and the Fisheries Management: Should be changed and reorganised. Exploitation of all natural resources and marine assets must be within sustainable limits, and the power company shall be public owned.
• Morality and transparency in political, administrative and financial systems: Should be increased through enactment of new laws, which will set up new rules and procedures for code of conduct and surveillance mechanisms - along with an increase of the legal penalty for possible infringements.
• Legal justice and definite settlement of the financial crisis: Establishment of a special prosecutor to judge and look into all cases related to the 2008–2011 Icelandic financial crisis, not only working with crime cases against business people, but also conducting a full public investigation of the roles played by the long-established political parties during the crisis. All Icelandic people should be allowed to refer a case to the special prosecutor, no matter his personal income or background.
• Relationship with EU: Will support a democratic process with independent information and education provided for the Icelandic people, to make a well-informed decision at a referendum. If negotiations with EU can not be completed ahead of adoption of the recently planned new Icelandic constitution, and if the nation decides through a specific referendum to discontinue negotiations in accordance with article 66 of the new Constitutional Assembly bill, the party will then support such a conclusion. Article 66 in the newly proposed constitution declare, that a referendum shall be held within two years after a signed request on a subject with public interest has been submitted to Althingi by minimum 10% of the Icelandic electorate - in the event the Althingi can make a counter proposal. In this case th referendum shall take place with both proposals. If the EU negotiations can be completed ahead of adoption of the newly proposed constitution, the party will support that Iceland continue to follow the path where negotiations with the European Union first shall be completed, and then with a referendum to be held with a vote on the negotiated result.
