===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 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 is expected to make good results together with the Progressive Party in 2009.
