Venstre
Placement: Libertarian center-right
Venstre (the Liberal Party), Norway's oldest party, social-liberal in orientation and led by Guri Melby: reduced to 3 seats in 2025, it is in opposition. A green transition with fewer new oil licenses, entrepreneurship, individual freedoms and drug policy reform, joining the European Union, and more open immigration.
In short
On the traditional scale, Venstre sits in the libertarian center-right camp. The clearest positions are on sovereignty: strongly towards “integration”; society: strongly towards “progress”; environment: strongly towards “ecology”; foreign policy: strongly towards “interventionism”. Among ideologies, the closest is green liberalism (93%).
