Saturday’s post linked to an attack in the London Guardian on Norway’s Progress Party produced a lively response from some Corner readers, a number of whom rather liked the look of everything that the Guardian disliked (there’s a surprise). An American based in Norway wrote to say that the Guardian piece was a caricature (there’s another surprise) – the Progress Party’s policies are, he says, rather more free market (deregulatory, low tax) than the article’s references to economic populism might suggest, and he describes the party’s approach to immigrants as resembling Fortuyn-style assimiliationism rather than anything more sinister (apparently some less savory elements were ousted from the party a few years ago). As I said yesterday, I know next to nothing about Norwegian politics, but these guys sound intriguing. It would be interesting to know if there’s anywhere where they set out their policies in English.
