On my part it's mostly an extreme dislike of anyone mixing religion and politics. That most certainly includes Bondevik and his Christian Democrats.

And yeah, their politics aren't my cup of tea either.

Wikipedia has (as far as I could tell by skimming) a perfectly decent write-up of the political parties in Norway, here:

The largest broadsheet in Norway has a good section of news in English, here:
