Norway’s ‘Populist’ Government Wins Historic Second Term
Brietbart ^ | 12 September 2017 | Virginia Hale

Posted on 09/12/2017 5:48:30 PM PDT by Lorianne

Norway’s right wing coalition government is set to hold on to power after narrowly defeating the open borders-backing left wing opposition.

Prime Minister Erna Solberg declared victory with her Conservative Party and their populist, anti mass migration Progress party coalition partners having secured 89 seats in Norway’s 169-seat parliament.

Heir to a fortune in fireplace manufacturing, the Labour leader has been an outspoken critic of the government’s attempts to tighten immigration policies, citing Norwegian “values” as why the country must become home to a never-ending stream of asylum seekers.

A man who professes his intent to, in Norway, “create a modern multicultural society that welcomes immigrants and new traditions”, Støre in 2015 demanded a further 10,000 Syrian refugees be brought to live in the nation of just 5 million people.

Migrants from the third world have become increasingly important to the Labour Party, which is backed by 80 per cent of Muslim voters — who now make up a third of the population of Norway’s capital city, Oslo.

In a debate during the election campaign, Støre blasted Solberg and the Conservative Party for forming a coalition with Progress, which he labelled “far right” for its opposition to open borders.

“This has changed Norway,” he thundered, asserting that talk of stricter border controls and criticism of mass migration has created a climate of hostility and “hate” in the country — a recurrent talking point amongst globalist politicians and NGOs in the West.

The prime minister said Støre’s comments accusing Norwegians of having “become colder” had no basis in reality, telling the Labour leader: “You must stop tagging the population of Norway as being hateful for your own political benefit.”

a european conservative is still middle to middle-left by American standards.

But by comparison with Norway Labor party, yes it ought to be an improvement.

I guess that’s a win

I keep forgetting that strange situation with the right wing over in W Europe.

I hate to think what they would call a REAL conservative party over there.

Probably would be outlawed.

It means that Western Europe hasn’t completely lost its mind, just 95% of it.

Another legacy of FDR — the political right in Europe was destroyed after WW2.

The european conservative parties would be squarely in the middle of the American political spectrum. At best, at worst well, . . .

I was too young to understand why my pop didn’t like him.

Born in ‘68 and he died in ‘82. Just remember him yelling out names of folks he didn’t like.

But I remembered EVERYONE he didn’t like in politics and found out why later :)

Kennedys, FDR, Carter, etc :)

I’m never sure with W Europe lol!

Read the article and it seemed like a good thing.

But their parties over there have names that sometimes dont reflect the reality.

True dat, however, the party that is against open borders won. So that is a dead giveaway. Now if they legislate as they campaigned then it is good. So I guess there is a grain of salt to be taken as with any election.

What did FDR do?

FDR established corporatist fascism as the economic system of the United States. Thanks to him we have a regulatory state that controls all major industrial sectors where the government has the ability to destroy companies that threaten the established economic order through regulation and taxation. Most sectors of our economy are controlled by two or three dominant corporations who in turn fund the campaigns of the two political parties.

Another term for "Corporatist Fascism" is "Liberalism", not to be confused with "Progressivism" which actually means Marxist socialism. During the 2016 election cycle Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton were the Corporatist Fascist candidates. Bernie Sanders was the Progressive candidate and Donald Trump was the Populist candidate. The Corporatist Fascists were successful in rigging the Democrat nominating process but not that the Republican. Hillary Clinton lost the election but Corporatist Fascists still dominate the congress through what is coming to be exposed as the "Uniparty" and the federal agencies of the executive branch by what is sometimes called "The Deep State".

Muslim voters — who now make up a third of the population of Norway’s capital city, Oslo.

That statistic is horrifying beyond belief, and said so nonchalantly. Akin to saying "I have huge plans for the future. Oh by the way I have stage 4 brain cancer."

Norway cannot survive this. Impossible. They would have to IMMEDIATELY put Muslims on cruise ships and deport them by the tens of thousands.
