Norway's Christian People's Party (KrF) has never been a large including Christian-democratic people's party like the dominating parties on centre-right in Continental western Europe since the war. More they've been a narrow counter-cultural phenomena of the peripheral west/south-west of Norway promoting pietistic and today anachronistic ideas. However, with the proposals of their 2. deputy leader, the young Inger Lise Hansen, a pragmatic, liberal and cosmopolitan up-date of their current program, this might change.
Moderating their pro-Israel policy in line with mainstream views, removing the party clause that party officers must be Christians, accepting civic same-sex marriage, change their view on EU membership to "yes", and accepting wine outlets in all municipalities. With these changes KrF might still be a compassionate party based on Christian core values, but without being fundamentalistic low-church evangelists.
Ms Hansen, you have my full support.
