Iceland's centre-right government survived a no-confidence vote late Friday, the day after the prime minister resigned in the wake of a major data leak that sparked widespread condemnation of his financial dealings, according to dpa. New Prime Minister Sigurdur Ingi Johannsson's centre-right coalition won by a 38-25 vote, in line with the parliament's composition. No lawmakers were absent. The vote was launched by the opposition, which also failed to push through a second motion calling for immediate elections, citing the need to restore trust in the political system and arguing that a change of prime minister was insufficent.
