Overview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

The Progress Party is a political party in Norway. It is generally positioned to the right of the Conservative Party, and is considered the most right-wing party to be represented in parliament. It is often described as hard right or right-wing populist, which has been disputed in public discourse, and has been described by various academics and some journalists as far-right. By 2020, the party attained a growing national conservative faction. Since the 2025 parliamentary election, it has been Norway's second largest political party, winning 47 seats in the Storting. It was a partner in the government coalition led by the Conservative Party from 2013 to 2020.
