“The ball is in the Prime Minister’s court now,” Mr Rana said after the announcement.

Prime Minister Bárður á Steig Nielsen says he will consult with the remaining coalition members about what happens next.

All the opposition parties say they are unwilling to join the coalition, which now has a minority in Parliament, with only 15 out of a total of 33 seats.
