The '''Progress Party''' (Norwegian: ''Fremskrittspartiet'', ''FrP'') is a political party in [[Norway]], representing [[capitalism]], European [[liberalism]] and [[conservative]] values. Per the Norwegian parliamentary elections of 2005 and 2009, the Progress Party is Norway's second largest political party, currently being in opposition together the other right-wing parties. Norway's left-leaning government narrowly defeated a splintered center-right opposition in the September 2009 elections. Prime Minister [[Jens Stoltenberg]]'s ruling [[Labor Party (Norway)|Labor Party]] government came under challenge by Siv Jensen and her right-wing populist Progress Party, which has gained support by calling for lowering Norway's notoriously high taxes and tightening immigration rules. Debate centered on how to manage the Nordic welfare state's oil wealth.<ref>See Karl Ritter, [http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090914/ap_on_re_eu/eu_norway_election "Norway election focused on oil wealth," ''AP'' Sept. 14, 2009] </ref>
