	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.

	IPU: Guide on Parliament and Democracy. Chapter 2
		In parliamentary systems, where the government can exercise the initiative over debate and legislation through its parliamentary majority, it is important that there be guaranteed rights for an official opposition to place items for legislation and policy debate on the parliamentary agenda, as well as guaranteed time for such debate.
		Parliamentary procedures often seem arcane, the demands on time are enormously diverse, and members are left very much to their own devices.
		Parliamentary non-accountability applies to anything spoken or written or any act committed by a member of a parliamentary assembly in the ordinary course of his official duties……the protection afforded is absolute and lifelong, even after he has ceased to be a member.

		The observation of elections and the provision of technical assistance and training are two key ways in which the Commonwealth Secretariat works to strengthen democracy and democratic institutions in particular in member countries.

		There are general elections in Norway on the 15th of this month and the latest polls seem to suggest a change of government from the current Labour administration.
		The Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland has told Norwegians that unless they give him at least the same vote as he received at the last election, he will resign his Labour administration - irrespective of the constellations of the Norwegian Storting (parliament).
		Most surprising in the polls is the showing of the right-wing Progress party, which seems set to garner 25% - a massive boost from the 6.3% they won at the election in 1993, and suggesting that the Progress Party of Carl I. Hagen could become the second largest parliamentary party in the country.

		Downs argues that postelection alliance building is a window onto many of the political processes fundamental to representative democracy: the interpretations of electoral verdicts; the compromises of campaign pledges; the trade-offs between policy and power; the temporary cooperation between long-term adversaries; the collective decisionmaking; and the blurring of lines of accountability through collective responsibility.

		The relationships between parliamentary members and leaders, we conclude, are the result of behavioural strategies driven by the distinctive preferences of members and leaders and are shaped by the rules and structures of institution and polity.
		Statistics are provided on the parliamentary passage of a number of such bills since the War, some of which demonstrates the extent to which actual practice has not always reflected conventional descriptions of the passage of constitutional legislation in parliament.

	Ernest Mandel: Social-Democratic Reformism (1993)
		The practice of the workers’ movement that is advocated by revolutionary Marxists does of course combine strikes for immediate gains, the strengthening to this end of trade unions and other mass organisations, participation in elections, the utilisation of elected assemblies, the fight for social legislation.
		Ernest Mandel wrote this article for the October 1993 issues of Inprecor and International Viewpoint, where it was intended to be an introduction to a series of articles devoted to social democracy.
		Felling that they had been tricked, the workers did not vote for Jospin, who had claimed to be their “benefactor” in the presidential election of 2002.

		Brochures published by the Norwegian government claim that whale meat is sold in Norway where it is a traditional part of the Norwegian diet.
