Here is the Quiz in English. Take it and answer the poll question. (http://tjenester.aftenposten.no/testdegselv/test.do?method=retrieve&parameter=23)

Notes

1. Cash Payments to parents are intended to compensate parents which do not use the heavilly subsidised kindergartens and keep their kids at home. The original idea seems to have been to help norwegians to afford being stay at home moms, but it seems mainly to have been used by the well off who have nannies and immigrants who don't want their kids mixing with the locals.

2. At present about $500 per year for a kindergarten spot.

6. Norway has a spending rule for it's oil fund of only using 4% per year. The income from special oil taxes goes into this fund. However, regular taxes and fees on the operation of oil and oilfield related companies still goes to the regular government budget.

8. Norway already gives 1% of GDP in development aid.

9. These last 4 years have seen a 4 fold increase in arriving asylum seekers, of which 90% or so are refused, but many can't be sent home due to fraud or humanitarian reasons.

13. Presently only private schools with religious or alternative pedagogical (Steiner or Montessori) backgrounds are permitted.

23. Norway has ~450 townships ranging from Utsira with 230 to Oslo with 600,000 (ish).

I asked myself the same question. Also I wondered why the Christian People Party (KrF) was called the Christian Democratic Party. The KrF primarily focussed on social and ethical issues abortion bad, gay marriage bad, foreign aid good, christian ethics good.

Oddly, I exactly split The Labour Party and the Liberal Party.

I am the Hansy of Norway  :o

Quote
The Progress Party
The Progress Party: Norway's most conservative party, it believes the public sector should play a smaller role in society. It urges tax cuts and restraints on immigration.

I rock.

Edit: I said no to the homos, just because of marti.

Quote

The Labour Party: A social democratic party that embraces solidarity and believes the public sector should play a vigorous role in society.

The Progress Party: Norway's most conservative party, it believes the public sector should play a smaller role in society. It urges tax cuts and restraints on immigration.

The Conservative Party: Traditionally the major rival of Labour, the Conservatives promote freedom of choice, more competition within the private sector, and tax relief.

The Liberal Party: One of Norway's more right-leaning "center" parties that supports tax relief but also a strong public sector, liberalized immigration and environmental protection measures.

The Socialist Left Party: More left-leaning than Labour, the Socialist Left supports high taxes and fees to finance a vast array of social services.

The Christian Democrats: Another party in the center, promoting Christian values. The party is anti-abortion, anti-poverty and pro-family.

The Center Party: Champion of Norway's farmers and support to the country's rural districts, this party wants less free-market influence and more public sector control of society.

The Reds: Formed by a merger of parties including Rød Valgallianse and Norway's communist party (AKP), it wants to break down class differences and promote social equality.

I got basically a tie between Labour, Progress, Con and Lib.  :huh:

"Center" party was lowest, but they seem to be a rabble of communist farmers.  :P

Liberal Party:    58 %    
The Socialist Left Party:  53 %

That'll teach me to vote in a poll before actually doing the test - I naturally assumed I would fit the label "conservative". Apparently I am too conservative for them. :lmfao:

Mostly what I expected. I like the Liberal Party and Conservatives, don't like the Commies and Labour.
