The Norway Democrats (Bokmål: Norgesdemokratene Nynorsk: Noregsdemokratane, ND) is a radical right[1] national conservative and anti-globalist[2] political party in Norway without parliamentary representation.[3]
The party was founded in 2002, chiefly by former members of the Progress Party led by Vidar Kleppe.[3] The Norway Democrats have a conservative, Norwegian nationalist-oriented profile, and a centrist profile on economic issues; key issues are raising the minimal state pension, removal of toll stations, opposition to the European Union and a popular vote on Norway's membership in EEC, and opposition to immigration.[3] The party has never been represented in the Storting except for being joined by independent member of parliament Jan Simonsen in 2002, thus effectively being represented until the parliamentary term expired in 2005. The party claimed to have 3,500 registered members in 2013.[4]
The new leader of the party as of 2021, Geir Ugland Jacobsen, has transformed the party into a pro-Russian mouthpiece,[5][6] and the party founder Vidar Kleppe was expelled from the party in 2023 for voicing his opposition to the party being associated with Putinism.[7][8] According to Kleppe there are extremists in the party.[9]
