    Yo, Lars. I’m glad to see other Scandinavians here. My impression is that we are too content with status quo. The fact that Norway even has a Christian Party that holds seats in Parliament is a blight upon our democracy.

    Yo, Lars. Iā€™m glad to see other Scandinavians here. My impression is that we are too content with status quo. The fact that Norway even has a Christian Party that holds seats in Parliament is a blight upon our democracy.

    If I read Wiki right, they have 5.5% of the seats. One of the effects of a proportional representation system is that the outliers can leave the big parties and can manage to do that (and these small parties are hoping no big party gets a majority, so they can get into coalitions and leverage that number). So I’d say it’s not so much a blight on Norway as it is the way it will work out (You have eight parties with seats in the Storting, including one that got less than 1 percent of the vote). Though I’m sure we’d both be happier if the number were less.

    It’s not a blight on democracy, it’s a blight on at least some of the people who voted for them.

    It could be vastly worse, they could have gotten the cabinet seat for the ministry of culture.
