Glad you wrote this up. Partly because it means I won't have to.

And we're getting rid of Bondevik. I am pleased.

I was a bit surprised that it hadn't been diaried already, though, considering the massive amounts of Norwegians around here.

Could you write us non-Norwegians about why you disliked Bondevik? More generally, about what we should know about some of the parties and who are the key persons?

Re: (4.00 / 3)

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:

Before the election Inge Lønning, the deputy speaker of the Norwegian Parliament, asked what is the similarity between Iran and Norway? They are both ruled by the clergy.
