	Norwegian parliamentary election, 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The election was won by the opposition centre-left Red-Green Coalition, which took 87 seats, dominated by the Labour Party's 61 seats.
		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.

	Short Term Election Observation
		The eight parliamentary elections on 1 October 2001 were by many seen as an important test of Bangladesh’s commitment to democracy as well as of the political and public resolve to maintain the tradition of parliamentary governance restored in 1991 and further consolidated in 1996.

	Indikator 1982:13. The 1992 Swedish Election
		The 1982 election deals with two fundamental issues of international interest: the shrinkage of the welfare state in an ailing economy and the gradual socialization of the private sector of the economy according to a new model, the wage-earner funds.
		This is of importance in elections that coincide with periods of unemployment, as in 1982.
		If the election results are similar to those in 1970 and the Social Democrats emerge larger than the non-socialist parties taken together but without a majority of their own because of the Communists' (and now perhaps also the Environmental party's) mandate, the question of forming a government will be less clear.

		The Norwegian tabloid Dagbladet has "exposed" the fact that Norway's prime minister, Christian Democrat (and ordained minister) Kjell Magne Bondevik is somehow affiliated with the Fellowship Foundation, a Christian organization that apparently caters to the political elite, worldwide.
		Per A. Christiansen at Aftenposten, Norway's leading daily, presents a (Norwegian) preview of the findings, with the headlines "Norway and Israel misled the US about the Oslo channel." This is one of several points Christiansen cites as evidence that Norway favored Israel over the PLO in the negotiations.

	The Norwegian Party System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The election system favoured the established parties (Høyre and Venstre) and the amount of voters did not choose Arbeiderpartiet (Labour) until in the 20's, after economical crises and the years of depression.
		The 1973 general election is often refered to as the earthquake election in Norwegian history.
		It was the election where SF really started to show muscles and managed to become an important party with good help from the commmunistic movement (election cooperation during the 1973 election resulted in the name change to Sosialistisk Valgforbund, later Sosialistisk Venstreparti (SV) which also is the name the party holds today).

		Norwegian election pundits are really annoying, easily engaging in overstatements that are nothing short of nauseating, rather than explaining facts.
		All in all, this election was another data point in the demise of Norwegian political life.
		The Conservative party is stuck in its own underwear, the Labor Party is chained to the unions and the radical youth organization, the Progressive Party remains a populist force with some disturbing trends, and most of the rest are special interest groups.

		When Norwegian nationalism reached a peak during the emancipation from Sweden in 1905,[8] the Storting Representative Saba wrote a Saami national anthem.As we shall see, the expectations held by the Saami Movement in Finnmark were naive and unrealistic.
		The fact that Rønbeck as a Norwegian in the Saami district Karasjok was supported by the Saami, conferred on him the authority as an expert on "the Saami Question".
		The Labour Party Government appointed in the autumn of 1973 one of the leaders of the Saami political opposition in Finnmark, the Saami Ole K. Sara, as a permanent secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture.

	Hansard -- Thursday, April 5, 1973 -- Afternoon
		What we want to have is completely free elections in British Columbia, and to completely exclude Canadian unions or international unions, or big corporations, be they international or Canadian corporations, from contributing to the election of Members of this House.
		But the people would know once that election was held that the Members who appeared in the House were entirely responsible to them and not to any special-interest group that might contribute to their election campaign.
		At the federal level we have an auditor general whose basic purpose in life is to assure the taxpayers of judicious use of funds and to detect and expose any squandering of funds, and the federal example, I think, is very hard to find fault with.

		There were frequent exchanges between Dr Sher Afgan Khan Niazi, minister for parliamentary affairs, and opposition members, where the dialogues were coarse patchworks of inane exchanges whose very banality was supposed to be loaded with moment and simmering undertones.
		Charred by the combustion that was its own rupturing open, their members displayed the worst form of parliamentary behaviour which hasn't gone down very well with their supporters outside the Assembly.

		However, "effective" elections required "action to be taken" against indicted war criminals to avoid a "pseudo-democratic legitimization of extreme national power structures and ethnic cleansing".
		Whether elections would produce authorities interested in real peace regardless of whether Karadzic or Mladic, and 72 others at the time, were apprehended could only be a matter of speculation.
		And, of course, there were allegations of an OSCE cover-up of voting fraud in the 14 September elections, influenced by political considerations from outside the region, and by incompetence in organizing registration.

		The decision of the 1973 ALP Conference to ask the Australian Government to examine and report upon the operations of multinationals in Australla must not be allowed to develop into a sterile cost-benefit approach couched in purely economic terms ignoring the political, social and cultural implications of the phenomenon.
		The Norwegian system appears to differ from the West Gerrnan and Dutch models in at least two respects: it recognises trade union machinery; and it provides power to the Works Councils to overrule both the Managing Board and, in certain respects, the Annual General Meeting of shareholders.
		Such a situation can be likened to giving a voter in Parliamentary elections one vote for each pig, or for each sheep or acre of land he owns.

		By voting in general elections, the voters delegate authority to parties, whose task it is to act on their behalf.
		This objective is pursued by two means: first, through the use of data sets that have been generated in connection with other studies carried out within these countries in recent decades; and second, by the collection of new data sets specifically related to the fundamental issues involved.
