Norwegian parliamentary election, 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 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 the capital, and disadvantages Oslo and more dense populated counties. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Norwegian_parliamentary_election,_2005   (1112 words)

Talk:Norwegian parliamentary election, 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The laws concerning the parliamentary elections is but one of many political areas in which Norway actively seeks to incite and uphold activity and settlement in rural parts of the country. Second, you should remember that the Norwegian election law is made by a democratically elected parliament, which is by far a more democratic process than if one Australian should dictate our laws. It's not often that a democratic election produces a result which is as blatantly wrong in terms of representing the will of the people as this one was, and that fact needs to be mentioned in the opening paragraph. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Talk:Norwegian_parliamentary_election,_2005   (2392 words)

Norway's election: right next time? The aftermath of the 2005 election may yet not be his moment, but the success of the party is a warning sign to Norwegian democracy, and an indication that the pressures of globalisation on national politics impact on what may appear the most comfortable and prosperous of societies. In September 2005 it has returned to office and given Norway its first majority government in years. In part, the election result represents a reaction to a centre-right government that was widely viewed as far too willing (internationally) to climb into bed with the Bush administration in Iraq and (domestically) to abandon honoured Norwegian social values. www.opendemocracy.net /xml/xhtml/articles/2846.html   (825 words)
