I hope this will indeed be the case. But we all know that all the surveys tend to severely underestimate the numbers for the extreme right.

FrP as well as Alliansen, Demokratene, Konservativt

FrP is not that extreme but I find them kinda similar to MDG that they don't have as big of a pool of competent candidates as other establishment parties. A lot of people with strong rhetorics and conviction, but little patience for learning political process which leads to a lot of mistakes.

FrP, not ND.

u/Possible-Moment-6313 4d ago

FrP, obviously. Democratene are not politically relevant.

FrP is populist, but not extreme.

Dem vs Rep = H vs FrP, when you compare the pre-Trump US to Norway.

Thank you. This was kinda my point. There’s a difference.

All politics is populist.

It didn't take the left long to jump on the "Kampen murder" and use it as an argument against "muh right wing".

When the reality is that it was a Serbian immigrant murdering a muslim immigrant.

Remind me what relationship the Serbs had with muslims in 90s yugoslavia again... 🤔

You can be an immigrant and a far right extremist, no problem.

And the influence of certain countries (cough Putin cough) in social media and via bribes/blackmail to fuck things up.

This is very comprehensive of how the elections in Norway work for those that dont grasp the electoral system here.  It is especially useful for people who are used to winner takes all election districts like the US and UK.
