Talk:Progress Party (Norway)

message: I'm trying to expand the discussion about populist aspects of the progress party in section  Ideology and political positions. I'm now comparing definitions of "populism" in Bjerkem (2016)and in Gagnon, Beausoleil (2018). It would be nice to have some examples of specific policies that are considered populist. I do get an impression that the Progress Party is rather skeptical towards what they consider to be the elites, but I struggle top put a finger on any specific policies that can be used as examples. I hope to anchor this discussion in something specific. Is it a good idea? Any suggestions for policies that could be listed? Heptor (talk) 15:27, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: If I remember correctly, the Progress Party's immigration policy (or at least the ideas of factions within the party) has been described as "populist". Ezhao02 (talk) 14:43, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: Perhaps. Do you know which description is more common? Ezhao02 (talk) 17:12, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  They certainly don't describe themself as national-conservative. Citing Siv Jensen, . This is a moderation of her earlier position, that those who wish the Progress Party to become national conservative should find themselves another party. The description Right-wing Populist is certainly more common, but it is disputed. Citing the article, . Heptor (talk) 17:36, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: They are not national-conservative. Single issue positions doesnt define a partys ideology. They're classical-liberals, or conservative-liberals at best. Laddmeister (talk) 19:27, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

message: From what I read on this article it seems like the Fatherland League (Norway) is the De facto predecessor to the Progress Party (Norway). Because of this I think this should be included in the info box. Keep in mind Defacto isn't the same as by law. 
:@Vif12vf You seem to disagree with this statement. May I get your opinion on the matter?

replies: text: FRP was founded over 30 years after the Fatherland League was banned, by a person who never held a central role in the league as a whole. Aside from this lack of any real connection between the two, they also diverged ideologically. The League was corporatist and ended up favouring a more New Deal-like approach and a more planned economy, whereas FRP is right-libertarian and opposes taxation and social welfare, and supports increased privatization of the public sector. The only real similarities are conservative and anti-communist values, several other parties founded during and after the cold war has held such values, making FRP far from unique. Even de facto would be a rather big stretch. Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 03:45, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Vif12vf. There is no connection between the two parties. Laddmeister (talk) 19:25, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

message: Users clearly biased against the progress party should refrain form editing this page. I can see from the versions page that users like Vif12vf, who are open about being a communist far-leftist, are very active on posting claims about Progress Party being far-right. Please keep your biased politics out of political wiki pages.  Laddmeister (talk) 18:15, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
