	Norwegian Parliamentary Election, 2005
		Parliamentary elections were held in Norway on 12 September 2005.
		The red-green coalition was the winner of the election and formed a majority government, with Jens Stoltenberg as prime minister, on October 17, 2005, as soon as a national budget for 2006 had been proposed by the old government.
		This disparity is caused by the Norwegian electoral system, which assigns seats according to a formula favouring the geographically larger counties with small populations that are located proportionally further from the capital, and disadvantages the more dense populated counties.

	Election Resources on the Internet: Elections to the Norwegian Storting
		Norwegian party politics trace their origins to the establishment of parliamentary rule in 1884, an event which led to the foundation of Høyre and Venstre - literally "Right" and "Left", respectively, but known in English as the Conservatives and the Liberals.
		In the election, two new political forces gained representation in the Storting: the right-wing, anti-tax Anders Lange's Party (subsequently renamed the Progress Party); and the leftist Socialist Association for the Election, an alliance of earlier Labour breakaway groups with the Communist Party.
		The outcome of the election allowed Dr. Brundtland's minority Labour administration to remain in power; the vote also highlighted the prominent role of women in Norwegian politics: Labour, the Center Party and the Conservatives were all led by women, and females won 65 of the 165 seats in the Storting.

	What to Expect in Iraq after the December 15 Elections - Security Council - Global Policy Forum
		As Iraq prepares to elect its first permanent, post-Saddam Hussein government on December 15, 2005, the political class is preparing for the regionalization, and potential fracturing, of the state.
		Whereas in the January 2005 elections Iraq was treated as a single voting district, this week's elections will be run with each of the 18 provinces representing a voting district.
		Therefore, while the elections may limit al-Zarqawi's support in Iraq, it is unlikely to put a dent in the Ba'athist insurgency.
