    Iceland misses out on Europe's first female-majority parliament after recount

    Iceland briefly believed it had made history by electing Europe's first female-majority parliament - before a recount showed it had just fallen short.

    Some 30 of the 63 seats (47.6%) were won by women. But earlier results had showed women winning 33 seats (52%).

    No European country has breached the 50% threshold, with Sweden coming closest at 47%, according to data from the Inter Parliamentary Union.
