	www.stortinget.no > About the Storting > Party Groups
		At group meetings the parties define their political positions and formulate their views on issues currently being dealt with in the Storting.
		The size of a group secretariat is determined by the size of the party representation during each electoral term.
		The groups hire and pay the salaries of their political advisers, so the size of this staff is determined by the size of the party and its finances.

	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 great focus on decentralization of actual power and capital.
		The party has been marked by its pragmatic style of politics, which has allowed it to cooperate with political parties across the spectrum from the Conservative Party (Høyre, H) to the Socialist Left Party (Sosialistisk Venstreparti, SV).
		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.

	Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The survey is a partial replication of the 1989 survey conducted by Laver and Hunt (1992).
		The survey results are used to describe important aspects of Norwegian party competition including issue ownership and the dimensionality of the Norwegian political space.
		The convergence of positions of the Socialist Left party and the Center party is not surprising given the extensive cooperation between these two parties during the 1994 campaign debate on EU membership.

		The party was central in the campaigns against Norwegian membership in the European Union before the national referendums about this question in 1972 and in 1994.

	PINR - Intelligence Brief: Norway
		The center-right parties want to shift the balance toward the private sector and personal income, and the center-left parties want to shift it toward the public sector and the social economy.
		In the interim, Norway was governed by a minority center-right coalition led by the Conservative Party's Kjell Magne Bondevik who had the support on most issues of the Progress Party, which remained outside the coalition because the mainstream center-right would not accept its anti-immigrant policies and its demands for expansion of social services.
		The major sign of instability in Norwegian politics is the replacement of the center-right by the populist right, which falls outside the boundaries of the mainstream European consensus and challenges -- ironically -- the Norwegian social compact in the name of nationalism.

	S/R 13: The Norwegian Green Party
		The four million Norwegians have a number of political parties, and thanks to the system of proportional representation there are now eight political parties in the national parliament in Oslo, ranging from the right wing "Progress Party" to the Maoist "Red Voters Alliance."

		For instance, you only have two parties (or, two parties that count for something), and they're both trying to reach the majority of the voters, which again makes them lead basically the same politics with minor adjustments.
		Next comes the Labour party, which are a little left of the center and have quite a chunk of the voters on their side (and have traditionally had so since the end of WW2).
		In the "center" you have the Center party (basically farmers), the Left wing party which no one votes for 'cause they have no distinct profile or politics and aren't that much left when it comes to it, and the last center party is the KRF (translated it stands for something like "Christian peoples party").
