Venstre (Norway)
The Liberal Party ( no, Venstre, lit=Left, V; se, Gurutbellodat) is a centrist political party in Norway. It was founded in 1884 and it is the oldest political party in Norway. It is positioned in the centre on the political spectrum, and it is a liberal party which has over the time enacted reforms such as parliamentarism, freedom of religion, universal suffrage, and state schooling. For most of the late 19th and early 20th century, it was Norway's largest and dominant political party, but in the postwar era it lost most of its support and became a relatively small party. The party has nevertheless participated in several centrist and centre-right government coalitions in the postwar era. It currently holds eight seats in the Parliament, and was previously a part of Norway's government together with the Conservative Party and the Christian Democratic Party. Guri Melby has served as the party leader since 2020. The party is regarded as social-liberal and advocates personal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Innvik
Innvik is a former municipality in the old Sogn og Fjordane county in Norway. The municipality existed from 1838 until 1965. Innvik is located in the present-day Stryn Municipality in Vestland county, encompassing about the western third of the present municipality. Innvik included both sides of the Nordfjorden, from Randabygda in the west to just west of the village of Stryn. It stretched from the border with Hornindal Municipality in the north, through the Oldedalen valley all the way to the Jostedalsbreen glacier in the south. Name The name comes from the old ''Innvik'' farm ( non, Víkr), since the first Innvik Church is located there. The old name is identical with the word ''vík'' which means "inlet". Over time, the prefix ''inn-'' (meaning "inner") was added to distinguish the area from nearby Utvik (meaning "outer" Vik). The name ''Indvigen'' or the more modern spelling ''Innvik'' has been in use since the 15th century. History The municipality was established ...
