=== Today, since 1991 ===
The discussion about joining the [[European Union]] was the most important case in the 1993 parliamentary election, and was the main reason that the Conservative Party dropped down from the place as second largest party, to being the third largest one. The Conservative Party was beaten by the [[The Centre Party (Norway)|Centre Party]], as the Centre Party became the largest opposer to a Norwegian membership of the EU. The referendum in 1994 gave the opposers a little majority, with 52,2 percent of the total vote (voter turnout was 88,6 percent, the highest in Norwegian history). The Conservative Party made it worst election result since the first World War in 1997, but raised in 2001, and came into a cabinet together with the Christian Democrats and the Liberal Party, supported by the Progressive Party. Lost the election in 2005, but improved in 2009, though without regaining power.

== Criticism from economic leftists ==
*''Party for the rich''. This believe has been uphold by the left-wing parties in more than hundred years, mainly because the Conservative Party was an interest party for the middle and upper class in the beginning. Today, the worker's class has more or less disappeared in Norway, and most people can define themselves as middle class. It is internal stated: "The Conservative Party shall be a party for everybody, not just those who vote for us. We shall be the party for the nurse, the industrial worker, the engineer, the bank director, and the immigrant boy. If the unemployed man at home in a small apartment in Oslo doesn't vote for us, that doesn't mean that we won't make it easier for him to get a job again."
*''Only tax cuts for the rich''. Used as an argument by, especially, the Labour Party against the Conservative Party, most recently in the 2005 parliamentary election. The party supports tax cuts for everybody (and was done when the party was in government; 2001–2005), not just the rich, so the criticism is built upon wrong facts.
