 Norway's dark secret | World dispatch | Guardian Unlimited
The far-right Progress party is not in power yet (although the country's minority government relies on it to pass legislation) but that could change and pressure is growing for it to be given a seat at the top table.
The Progress party's success is in large part due to its charismatic leader, Carl Hagen, popularly known as "King Carl", who has laboured to give what used to be an unruly hard right party a more respectable image purging it of its most outspoken and maverick elements.
While Norway's political elite believes that financial prudence should be the order of the day and that the country's oil millions should be invested for future generations, the Progress party advocates a more free-spending approach.

Lest one think that the phenomenon of partial party development is unique to Russia, it is important to note that other societies have passed through analogous periods early in their democratic histories.
In a series of meticulous studies of Norway, Rokkan stresses the role of competitive pressures in driving parties to co-opt or supplant nonparty organizations by aggressively recruiting local nabobs regardless of ideological stripe; he attributes intracountry disparities in the pace of the process to geographical and historical factors.

The ENP is a party of liberal fair trade economics underpinned by "social provision" and would wish to reduce the role of Government regulation and quangos in the economic life of the country.
Clearly on the first occasion that a separatist party gains a majority in any of the devolved assemblies, (which is of course statistically highly probable in due course) the consequence is likely to be independence.
The English National Party considers this advantage to be insignificant and likely to be reversed if the analysis was simply concentrated upon the value to England alone of European Union Membership, given that most of the subsidy from the European Union goes to those parts of the United Kingdom outside England.
