Democrats () is a Right-wing , Nationalistic Political Party in Norway . The party is led by Vidar Kleppe , a former member of parliament for the Progress Party . The main issues for the party are Anti-immigration , law and order and reduction of Taxes . The party's values are based on Christianity and Norwegian heritage. The party has no representation in legislature, Storting , though it has eight members of seven Municipal Councils and one representation in a County Council ( Vest-Agder ), as of the 2003 Elections . Despite running a high profile campaign, Demokratene failed to make any breakthrough in the 2005 Parliamentary Election , capturing a hugely disappointing 2,706 votes (a share of 0.1%). With the main right wing vote going to the Progress Party, Demokratene were left without a support base and so failed to win any representation. The party stepped up its activity with the aim of gaining a foothold in the Storting at the elections of September 12 , 2005 . Amongst its more well-known candidates for the election were Gry Jannicke Jarlum , who briefly achieved fame in Norway in the early 1980s as a pop singer (and now goes by the name of J-Diva), and Ole Klemetsen , who gained some success in the Light Heavyweight division of Boxing REFERENCES |
