# Talk:Progress Party (Norway)

I cannot edit this page since some user has marked me for edit-warring, even if the edits are both sourced and correct. I cant do anything about that. But. If someone who are not marked for edit-warring can fix some errors, please do.

Ketil Solvik-Olsen is not the deputy leader. Terje Søviknes and Hans Andreas Limi are deputy leaders. I've tried correcting this but a certain user keeps reverting it.
National conservatism is claimed as the main ideology in the infobox. The party ideology is not national conservatism, and the sources posted does not claim that it is. The sources say that the party leader say "there is also room for people belonging to national conservatism" in the party. Which makes national conservatism a faction, not the party ideology. I've tried correcting this, but a certain user keeps reverting it.
Right-wing populism is also claimed in the infobox. This should be marked as disputed. I've pointed and posted to the source for this, by prof. Anders Jenssen. But a certain user keeps reverting this.
Anti-immigration. The party is not anti-immigration. They're for a stricter policy on immigration and wants the government to take more control on immigration than what is being done today. Thats not the same. This is an incorrect slur, not backed by credible sources. Like most other errors on this page.

The term anti-immigration refers to support for restricting immigration; the term is not a slur, just as anti-abortion and anti-nuclear are also not slurs. The cited reliable sources explicitly describe the Progress Party as anti-immigration. Some sources go even further; as I quoted in the above section, Mudde (2016) describes the Progress Party as one of the European populist "extreme right" parties with "strong xenophobic stances". — Newslinger talk 10:23, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
Labour, Centre-Party and Conservative party are also for restricting immigration. Strange why they havent gotten the same label. They all advocate for restricting asylum seekers access to Norway.

Is anti-immigration a significant component of these parties' political ideologies? If reliable sources (particularly academic sources) explicitly describe it that way, then a discussion about the inclusion of the anti-immigration descriptor may be warranted on the talk pages of the respective Wikipedia articles about these parties. — Newslinger talk 07:33, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
No, it's not. But their policy isnt much different from Frp. But I see your point. Laddmeister (talk) 12:02, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

I just want to comment that this page is a lot better now than what it used to be. We all know that trolls on wikipedia are editing pages on subjects they feel strongly about, and especially subjects they feel strongly hostility towards. This page has been no exception to this. But as it stands now, it's not perfect by far, but it's at least a lot less manipulated by political activists who try to portrait those they disagree with as "far right nazis".

Thismess having conservative liberalism in the infobox when it is backed by only a single source is undue weight. Helper201 (talk) 23:55, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Please refer to the Norwegian Wikipedia: [1] [2]. Liberalisme is Liberalism in English, not Libertarianism. Norwegian Wikipedia does not include any ideology in the info box other than Liberalisme.
Liberalism in the Anglosphere and Liberalism in Norway have completely different meanings. However, since the FrP is a Norwegian political party, it should follow Norwegian political terms. ProgramT (talk) 08:36, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

@Helper201 said: It is not appropriate to use sources from 2002, 2010 and 2018 for how the party is in 2025. However, in the Parts and Elections in Europe updated in 2021, FrP's ideology is still expressed as Conservative liberalism. [3] ProgramT (talk) 08:53, 22 July 2025 (UTC)
A single source from 4 years ago is WP:UNDUE weight. We also don't follow other language versions of Wikipedia. Helper201 (talk) 14:31, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

No, it is not far-right. Since when was anti-immigration innately far-right? Saelwack (talk) 20:27, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

The party is currently described as "Right-wing to far-right". See Special:Permalink/1306785803 § cite note-far-right-25 for the currently cited sources supporting the far-right descriptor. — Newslinger talk 10:19, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
