context_page_description: The Progress Party, commonly abbreviated as FrP, is a right-libertarian right-wing political party in Norway. The party values are focused on civil liberties, individualism and limited government. It is the country's third largest political party, with 26 representatives in the Norwegian Storting. The party was a partner in Norway's centre-right government coalition from 2013 until they withdrew from the government in January 2020. Its leader Siv Jensen served as Norway's Minister of Finance in the government.
  Its policies support economic liberalism, law and order and downsizing the bureaucracy and the public sector. The Progress Party self-identifies as an economic liberal party which competes with the socialist left to represent the workers of Norway. The party advocates increased spending of Norway's Oil Fund on investments in infrastructure and aims to eliminate the existing budgetary rules which set a limit on such spending. The party has officially opposed Norwegian membership in the European Union since 2016, after having been neutral on the issue before.
