Þorsteinn Bergsson is the lead candidate for the Socialist Party of Iceland in the Northeast constituency.

Þorsteinn Bergsson was unanimously approved at a Socialist Party of Iceland (Sósíalistaflokkur Íslands) meeting as the party's lead candidate in the Northeast constituency.Þorsteinn lives in Egilsstaðir, is a writer and translator, and was formerly a sheep farmer in Hjaltastaðaþinghá for many years. He is a leftist at heart, and the ownership of land and companies that can be considered essential infrastructure is close to his heart. He believes it is urgent that the state and municipalities intervene robustly in housing matters and ensure people access to rental housing at decent terms. The financial system needs to be made aware that it should support families and businesses in the country, not drain their vitality.
