The Industry and Business Party (Norwegian: Industri- og Næringspartiet, INP) is a Norwegian political party founded at Vemork in Rjukan on 29 February 2020.[4] The party describes itself as a centre-oriented moderate party, with the slogans "Stability and predictability", "Development, not liquidation" and will, among other things, work to prevent a restriction of the oil and gas industry and better framework conditions for business in general.[5] On 1 February 2023, the Health Party formally started the merging process with the Industry and Business Party.[6]

Party program and ideology

The party program was drawn up based on proposals from members of the party's Facebook group.[7]

INP calls itself a centre-oriented moderate party with values from both the right and left in the political landscape.[5][8][9]

The party's rhetoric has been described as left-leaning on social policy and regarding state control over natural resources and opposition to privatization, while being right-wing on tax and environmental issues. The party denies the scientific consensus on climate change, describing it as hysteria and saying any change is not caused by humans.[3]

Electoral results

The party collected the necessary 5,000 signatures from eligible Norwegians and was registered as a national political party by the Brønnøysund Register Centre on 6 May 2020. INP presented lists in all counties for the first time in the 2021 Norwegian parliamentary election.[10]
