They apparently identify themselves as liberals (according to the Wikipedia stub, but the Icelandic version says the same thing, from what I could decipher with my limited knowledge in Icelandic), as opposed to the socialist bent of the Left Green Movement. How their platforms differ specifically I do not know.

I think the Nordic "Green Left" is Left first and then green, as opposed to "Left Green" which would be Green first and then left.

Yeah, you're probably right there. As I've understood it, the Social Democratic Alliance was an attempt at creating a unified Icelandic left, and the Left-Green Movement were those more to the left who didn't approve of the Social Democrats' third way policies and didn't join.
