Bright Future (Björt framtíð, BF, Wikipedia) is an Icelandic political party with six seats in the 63 seat parliament, the Althing (Alþingi). Bright Future has close ties to the Best Party (Besti flokkurinn, also BF, Wikipedia), which won the Reykjavik city council election in 2010 under the leadership of comedian, actor and musician Jón Gnarr, who promised “A polar bear display for the zoo. Free towels at public swimming pools and a “drug-free Parliament by 2020” (New York Times) and announced on taking office that "No one has to be afraid of the Best Party," he said, "because it is the best party. If it wasn’t, it would be called the Worst Party or the Bad Party. We would never work with a party like that."

One of BF’s parliamentary deputies, musician Óttarr Proppé—lead singer of the Icelandic band Dr. Spock—sang backup vocals for Iceland’s 2014 Eurovision entry Pollapönk, a kidpunk band, whose song “No prejudice” could itself be a viable party name. Proppé, pictured here in the cone of light, is the first sitting member of a national parliament to participate in the Eurovision song contest. He is certainly not the last.
