Norway has a multi-party system, with numerous parties in which no one party often has a chance of gaining power alone, and parties must work with each other to form coalition governments.
In Norway, elections are held every second year, alternating between elections for the Parliament and local elections, both of which are held on a 4-yearly basis.
Norway is divided into 19 counties, and each county is a constituency in the election.
The Christian People's Party (Kristelig Folkeparti or Kristeleg Folkeparti, KrF), is a Christian Democratic Norwegian political party founded in 1933.
Their leader from 1983 to 1995, Kjell Magne Bondevik, was one of the most prominent political figures in modern Norway, serving as Prime Minister from 1997-2000 and 2001-2005.
KrF was founded as a reaction to the growing secularism in Norway in the 30's.
