  Venstre (Norway) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Venstre (sometimes referred to as the Liberal Party of Norway in international context) is a liberal party in Norway, subscribing to social-liberalism.
Later, Venstre advocated universal suffrage for men, which was achieved in 1898, the break-up of the Swedish-Norwegian Union, which happened in 1905, and universal women's suffrage, which was introduced in 1913.
Venstre was further weakened with the formation of Bondepartiet (the farmers' party, the present day Senterpartiet) in 1920, and Kristelig Folkeparti (christian peoples' party) in 1933, both of which were formed partly by former Venstre-members.

 1905: Norge, Sverige & unionen Temaartikkel 1905
The union between Norway and Sweden, which lasted from 1814 to 1905, was largely the result of the general turmoil in Europe in the wake of the Napoleonic wars.
Norway had been in a union with Denmark since 1380; since 1536 it had been as a vassal state and in 1660 it was subsumed as part of a single nation.
Norway was a separate state with its own constitution, its own government (with one department in Kristiania (Oslo) and one department in Stockholm), its own parliament (the Storting), its own administration, its own army and its own borders to the outside world.

 The Norwegian Party System
This led to the formation of the first political party in Norway - Venstre (The Liberals) were formed just before the 1884 general election and mainly consisted of farmers as the voter masses, and city-radicals as the leaders.
Not surprisingly Venstre won the 1882 election (Got into government in 1884 after the impeach as described above), and the most important political case for Venstre was the introduction of the parliamentary system which means that the government needs support from the elected parliament to rule; and not only by the King.
However, with this case won, Venstre, which was supported by all kinds of people, city radicals from Kristiania (named Oslo from 1925), liberal fishermen from the north and pietistic farmers from the southwest, had not much to fight for in common.

In Norway you NEVER hear the word "communist", they are all "lef wing oriented" or "left wing radicals" (egen communist guerillias in South America are just "oriented" towards the left side of politics).
Alle the three big news papers in Norway have "former" members of the communist party as editors as far as I know (maby not VG); and they really want to spread their sick ideology through their media power even if it conflicts with the truth.
Norway is such a small country, and the commies knew they could take over all the major positions through infiltration and comradery.

 Bjørn Stærk blog - Integrity and the Progress Party
Venstre officially calls itself "the Liberal Party of Norway".
The liberal dilemma in Norway, in my eyes, is as follows: Venstre is the only major party that represents an ideologically liberal purity, combined with a sense of pragmatism that has led it into government twice since 1997, where it can work for liberal causes in a direct fashion.
Unfortunately, Venstre has also been a very marginal party in the political landscape for the last 30 years or so, as their pragmatic liberalism does not seem to be connecting well with the voters.
