Norway: New PM Erna Solberg: Historic election victory for the right wing parties

Ms Solberg described her win as "a historic election victory for the right-wing parties".

Her Conservative Party is widely expected to form a government with the anti-immigration Progress Party.

It is oil-rich Norway's first general election since attacks by a far-right extremist left 77 people dead in 2011.

With three-quarters of the votes counted, the bloc of four right-wing parties had won 96 of 169 seats in parliament.

are not as "conservative" as ours. What is really bad is that the the far-right Progress Party will likely be part of a coalition government.

the progressive party in Norway is anything but. It's a veil for ugly bigotry.
