..Sylvi Listhaug, a Progress Party member...

In my vast study of Norwegian party politics of about thirty seconds on Wikipedia, it looks like the Progress Party are the good guys.

Founded by Anders Lange in 1973 as an anti-tax protest movement, the party values individual freedom strongly, supports market liberalism, and advocates downsizing bureaucracy and the public sector, while also proposing increased spending of Norway's public Oil Fund to invest in infrastructure, rejecting the notion of the "budgetary rule".[5][21] The party also seek a more restrictive immigration policy and tougher integration and law and order measures. In foreign policy it is strongly Atlanticist, and pro-globalization.

(Remember, in much of the world "liberal" is still associated with its Latin root meaning freedom and not the American meaning of "not quite as socialist and authoritarian as the Soviet Union... yet.")

Your Post 22, and this quote from the article: "...Sylvi Listhaug, a Progress Party member known for her hard-line stance on immigration..."

confuse the heck out of me. So are we saying that this Nowegian Mediterranean floater wants to stop the wholesale immigration/invasion of the Islamic hordes?

If so, then why the floating exercise?
