Talk:Centre Party (Norway)

Green
I would argue that SV (the Socialist Left Party) could also to some extent be seen as a green party, as it has been one of the parties in parliament that most consistently has supported environmentally friendly policies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_Green_Left_Alliance Oddeivind 20:17, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Socialism??
Why on Earth is this article within the scope of "wikiproject socialism"? That sounds like something right wing political opponents of the Centre Party might say.--Barend (talk) 08:52, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Importance and grammar of logo section
Wikipedia is not a news site, I find it questionable whether the new logo really warrants mention here until the controversy has died down. The text also contains some grammatical errors. 64.125.109.66 (talk) 21:41, 8 December 2010 (UTC)W

Neutrality in lead section
I find this edit to violate WP:NPOV. It is clearly framing the party in a negative way. Also some of the content isn´t relevant in the lead section to the party´s article pr WP:LEAD, for instance the information that Norwegian farmers (allegedly) receive the highest subsidies in the world. Iselilja (talk) 16:58, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

I accept that my edit could have been more neutral, and I will rework it to reflect a more neutral point of view.

I disagree about the content not being relevant in the articles lead section. "It should define the topic, establish context, explain why the topic is notable, and summarize the most important points—including any prominent controversies." The Centre Parties polices represent a highly prominent controversy in Norway currently, notably their insistence to nearly triple prices of some imported cheeses and meats. This controversy extends beyond Norway to the EU, Norway's largest trading partner, which has threatened retaliatory sanctions. This has been widely covered in the Norwegian news in recent months, and has also received exposure in the international news. The existing article, The Centre Party's own website, and innumerable web sources indicate that farmers are a major part of the Centre Party's constituency. I included a citation from a reputable and respected news source (The Economist), showing that Norwegian farmers receive the highest subsidies in the world, this was no mere 'allegation.' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.63.34.187 (talk) 20:47, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I think the word currently indicate part of the problem of placing the stuff about cheese/meats in the lead section. The lead section should offer a broad picture of the party and be relatively stable over time. Besides, being involved in political disputes is the standard for a political party and I don´t really see it as the kind of controversy that is referred to in your quote. The relationship to farmers/farmers´s organization may be more relevant for the lead section, since that has been a pretty stable part of the party´s identity. I would recommend you to look at how the lead section is written for other political parties, preferably the ones which are thoroughly covered at Wikipedia. Like Conservative Party (UK), Labour Party (UK), Republican Party (United States). I absolutely think this article would benefit from an expansion, and some changes in the content. You might consider starting a new section about the party´s platform. With regards, Iselilja (talk) 22:02, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Liberal?
Yeah right... It — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.74.213.197 (talk) 10:11, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

"Liberal"?
Yeah right... It's one of the least liberal parties represented in the Norwegian parliament, along with SV and KrF. Sp is a conservative, nationalist and traditionalist party. Actually, the youth organization recently proposed banning tobacco (http://www.hegnar.no/okonomi/article754423.ece). The three liberal parties of Norway are Høyre (liberal conservatism), Fremskrittspartiet (liberalism) and Venstre (social liberalism). --176.74.213.197 (talk) 10:17, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Norwegian Nationalism
@Vif12vf I added Norwegian nationalism to the page info box Because there are sources in the article itself saying that members of the party had called "Nationalism a positive Force", and because I have plans of adding a section in the Norwegian nationalism article, about Norwegian Economic Nationalism. Also, because you are into history would you like to add on to the ww2 section of the Norwegian nationalism page? thank you. Zyxrq (talk) 04:31, 17 February 2024 (UTC)


 * I have covered the relevant sources before, and have pointed out that they do not confirm that the party is nationalist. The sources in question either say that other parties accuse them of being nationalist, or that Vedum, and only Vedum specifically, has called nationalism a positive force. Neither of these confirm that the party itself is nationalist, and both only mention nationalism in a generic or broad sense. It is important to keep in mind that Vedum's statements aren't that relevant on their own, since the ideology of Norwegian parties (except Alliansen) are determined by delegates to the annual national congress and extraordinary national congresses, not by party leadership. The sources rather proves the existance of a kind of populism within the party. Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 05:26, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok, I’m ok if the edit gets reverted. I just added the link to the Norwegian Nationalist article because economic nationalism in Norway is a form of nationalism, that’s my general idea behind it. Just to clarify I am not saying the party is a full on nationalist party. If the party is populist shouldn’t we add that ideology to the info-box? Also for further clarification, eventually on the Norwegian nationalism page I’m going to add something like a Variant section for Norwegian nationalism, which I’m hoping to include National conservatism, right-wing populism and Economic Nationalism. After this any talk about the Norwegian nationalist page itself should be moved to its talk page. Thank you. Zyxrq (talk) 06:33, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
