Tonight we have the first parliamentary elections since the Breivik murder rampage two years ago.

The last polls have indicated that the socialistic government will fall, and that a coalition of conservative parties will take over.

This coalition - if it happens - will include the Progress Party which is almost something unique in a Scandinavian setting.

Here are some quotes from the National Review:

"By the way, there are two items of particular interest in Jensen’s office: a little Israeli flag and a bust of Reagan. It would be hard to convey how extraordinary these symbols are in the traditional Norwegian political culture. An American politician might be less scandalous for having kiddie porn in his office."

"The Progress party was founded in 1973, to advance the principles of classical liberalism. The party declares that its philosophy “starts with the democratic assumption that the people are best placed to decide what is best for them.” This is radical, almost revolutionary stuff here in Scandinavia. Progress’s symbol is an apple: healthful, good for you. Norheim likes to crack, “An apple a day keeps the government away.” The symbol of the party’s youth branch is a thumbprint: a symbol of individualism. Everyone has a thumbprint, and everyone’s is different, unique."​
