	Centre Party (Norway) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Centre Party's policy is not based on any of the great ideologies of the 19th and 20th century, but has a focus on maintaining decentralized economic development and political decision-making.
		The party has supported both Socialist and non-Socialist coalition governments; between 1930 and 2000 the Centre Party has participated in seven governments, three of which were led by a Prime Minister from the party.
		In the 2005 parliamentary election the party ran for government together with the Norwegian Labour Party (Arbeiderpartiet, Ap) and the Socialist Left Party (SV), with the Centre Party constituting the "green part" of that Red-Green Coalition.
