	About the Independence Party
		However, the Independence Party rejects the notion that it should be a desired goal to equalize people´s positions to such a degree that working hard becomes irrelevant and a person´s efforts towards developing his or her talents, in his or her own interests or those of others, count for nothing.
		The Independence Party is responsible towards all Icelanders and is the Party of unity, not division.
		Icelandic culture is not only one of the basic tenets of the Icelandic national consciousness but it is increasingly becoming a more and more important tool of competition for the nation and the interaction between a vibrant cultural life and a successful economy are ever increasing.
