Progress (Faroese: Framsókn) is a liberal, pro-Faroese independence political party on the Faroe Islands.

However, almost a year after the election, on 6 October 2012, Rein left the party and became an independent member of the Faroese Parliament.

On the following day, the Faroese website aktuelt.fo, which was run by the newspaper Sosialurin at that time, brought an article saying that the two MPs disagreed on whether Rein should be a candidate for the elections for the city council of Tórshavn or not.

[4] A few days later, 25 members of Framsókn wrote an open letter to Rein with an appeal for him to leave his seat in the parliament and give it to the next person on the list.

They subsequently formed a coalition government with Republic and the Social Democrats in which Poul Michelsen became Minister of Business and Foreign Affairs.
