(Anti-Muslim) Progress Party ready to rule

Since 9/11, most Western nations have, for obvious reasons, became increasingly sceptical of Christian and Muslim symbiosis.

In this regard, PC Norway, PC Denmark and PC Sweden are exceptions as these small Nordic countries have continued to welcome Muslim immigrants, referring to various sorts of UN policies and UN "legislature" (an apparatus Scandinavian tax payers, to a large extent, actually uphold as many other nations have lost the interest of financially supporting and being directed by this organization).

Yet, there are strong evidence Scandinavian political correctness is at an all time low..

The article:

"After decades of being the noisy underdog in Norwegian politics, the country’s most conservative party is riding a wave of popularity. With the current left-centre government losing even more support, the Progress Party is now hammering out a serious plan to take over after next autumn’s election.

"I'm going to use a lot of time on government plans this summer," Progress Party leader Siv Jensen told newspaper Adresseavisen on Tuesday. "Strategy needs to be formed, and I need to use the summer to make some preparations."

Her Progress Party, long the lone voice in the wilderness in Norway's social welfare state, has been able to boast support from more than 30 percent of the country’s voters for weeks now. Poll after poll has shown the Progress Party gaining voters at the expense of the three government parties that now form the left-center ruling coalition: Labour, the Socialist Left and the Center Party.

The small Center Party has suffered the most, with one recent poll indicating it's backed by less than 4 percent of the voters. That could even make it ineligible to win representation in Parliament, much less wield government power.

Another recent poll showed that fully 57 percent of Norway's voters now want a change of government. Only 2 percent of those questioned in a poll reported over the weekend think the current government "is doing a very good job."

Analysts claim the current Labour-dominated coalition simply hasn't delivered on campaign promises made in 2005. While oil and tax revenues are higher than ever, the level of government services seems to be declining in the country, and that's made voters mad. Labour boss Martin Kolberg has admitted that Labour hasn't communicated its achievements well enough.

All this has made the arch-rival Progress Party realize that government power suddenly seems within its grasp. Jensen is seizing the opportunity.

"It's important that we have a plan so we can get to work immediately," she told Adresseavisen. "If we come into power, we don't know how long we'll be sitting with it. We'll have a certain amount of time to operate, and then it's important that we're as effective as possible."

Jensen is keenly aware that her party may need to try to govern alone in a minority position, if none of the other non-socialist parties will cooperate with it. One of Progress' strategies involves sitting out a full year regardless of how many defeats it may suffer in Parliament. Or it can move from issue to issue until the other parties in Parliament force it to resign. Either way, Progress would be able to make its platform clear, and gear up for the next election in 2013.

If the non-socialist parties do cooperate, current polls suggest they would enjoy a solid majority in Parliament. A lot of pride is at stake, though. The non-socialist party that traditionally was the largest in Norway, the Conservatives (Høyre), suddenly finds itself half the size of the Progress Party. That suggests it will have to swallow a lot of pride if it joins a coalition with Progress."

From Wikipedia:

“Although the War on Terror is not an issue the Progress Party promotes a lot, they have a clear position in support of the United States. The only Norwegian party to support the U.S led invasion of Iraq in 2003 was the Progress Party .Former party chairman Carl I Hagen sometimes claims that there is a link between Islamist fundamentalism and terror.”

My opinion as a Scandinavian and as an European (I’m Swedish and Norway is my beloved neighbor country):

- America does not NEED support from Europe to defeat Islamism as USA probably could manage to do so singlehandedly, but as aware Europeans I would say it is our MORAL DUTY to support not only the ideas which we share with the other half of Western Civilization, but also to stand up for a great nation that is founded on the hopes and ideals OF OUR OWN SONS AND DAUGHTERS.

Europeans who do not support America are dubious Europeans.

What’s your take on Sweden and Norway still existing as Scandinavian countries in 30 years?

From everything I read, these countries are being flooded with third world immigrants. I also understand that the authorities refuse to deal with the rape epidemic among Swedish women.

I ask this as a person sincerely concerned about the Scandinavian people.

“What’s your take on Sweden and Norway still existing as Scandinavian countries in 30 years?”

- I don’t wish to deny there is a problem, but thirty years prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union, a lot of Westerners believed there was no way to evade global Communist domination in a near future.

Today, we know better.

While Islam will continue to exist, I’d say any enemy that Western Civilization takes on is bound to suffer defeat.

Islam has been conquered time after time by the Europeans and by today, Islam is more divided than ever before although it looks like a fearful enemy in sheer numbers.
