The Minister

The newly elected chairman of the Independence party, Benedikt, has formed an alliance with the social democratic alliance for the upcoming elections. Unexpectedly, he announces that he will resign if there is not a 90% voter turnout.

As Benedikt denies to take the office of the Prime Minister, the other powers in play consider their options. He spends his time convincing the nation to form a coalition treaty through twitter which draws international attention.

When Ríkarður contacts Benedikt to ask him to help with a dispute in his parish, Benedikt's impulsive reaction is to separate church and state.

Benedikt travels north to sign a permit for the construction of a hotel resort in his hometown, where he meets his ex-girlfriend that convinces him to prohibit the construction.

Benedikt abuses his temporary power as president to set a provisional law providing the family of a Ukrainian doctor with citizenship - a law requiring more signatures than his own.

The parliament discusses the option of adopting the Euro. Benedikt however, is obsessed with reworking a medieval music transcript into a musical. In his first brush of psychosis, he declares that Iceland will adopt the Euro unilaterally.
