Take a pick. At least one evil blonde (possibly more) among the picks.

And give your unjustified random reasons for making your pick if you can.

Are the results listing pretty weird for anyone else? The new forum software does polls differently from the old.

That's how it looks with Firefox for me. With IE it's even worse.

So did I.  Since I trust a politician who feels he doesn't need personal grooming to get his agenda through.

instinctively, I did not vote for any women, so as to avoid choosing a crazy blonde.

so I picked the guy who forgot his tie. he seems harmless, much like Norway.

Strange being so close to Sweden, you would think some attractiveness would cross the border by osmosis or something.

As to the poll: Mr No-Tie

Tanning bed real estate broker lady is too scary.  Fat lady is too fat.  Headmistress dyke is too plain.  Looks like bearded dude is the default.

maybe not as irrelevant and duplicitous as Sweden -- except as a supplier of hockey players and cheap wooden furniture -- but there you go.

I vote for #2 as his look, to me, is "most likely to embrace right-wing extremism and kill Norway's socialist state."  :)
Title: Re: Who would you vote for; Norway Edition
Post by: Viking on September 01, 2009, 05:52:37 PM
Ok, here are the results

1. Socialist Left, the wicked witch of the left. Presently Finance Minister. (6%)
2. Labour Party. Presently Prime Minister. (30%)
3. Center Party, this is the farmers party. Local Government Minister. (5%)
4. Left Party, ecofriendly nice liberals. Opposition but hates the wicked witch of the right. (6%)
5. Christian Peoples Party, social conservatives. Opposition but severely dislikes the wicked witch of the right. (6%)
6. Right Party, business friendly. Opposition, willing to work with wicked witch of the right. (14%)
7. Progress Party, right wing populist, wicked witch of the right. 25(%)

with most recent poll results. Likely government? Labour Party minority government since the government will lose it's majority and the 4. and 5. parties refuse to even talk to 7. about a government. 6. is too small to form a government on it's own, but 4. 5. and 7. are all willing to work with them.

The names for those two parties are about ~125 years old and are from a time when the Left party was a nationalist liberal radical party agitating for independence from Sweden and the Center Party represented smallholding farmers who didn't like being labelled as either left or right and wished to moderate the radical left and prod the conservative right party.

It's hardly mainstream. The disfunction of the norwegian system is that most parties won't even talk with them. But strangely enough this doesn't stop the parties talking to the party that wants to leave NATO.

7 is the only one regularly accused of racism. Though when 6 was the minister responsible for asylumseekers she was accused of racism, but then again everybody in that job get accused of that if they try to do their job.
