Suppose we will find out in a fews weeks.

 

Also isn't Norway full of lefties same as NZ?

 

 

Not so much in Norway no. Not in my experiance anyway. Norway has a strong Welfare State and a Strong union mentality. But they also reward hard work and expect people to reap the rewards of that hard work. Norway is a very Capitalist country and the people and government encourage entrepreneurialisim. The tax system in Norway is vastly more fair than in the UK. The people, and Unions are geared to building people up and not tearing them down, working together. I pay slightly more tax in Norway than I would in Scotland (its almost the same now) but I get a lot back through the benefits system. The same level of hate and greed you see prevalent in the Left here in the UK is not apparent in Norway, but they do have Jante's Law.  

 

Norway's Prime Minister Erna Solberg has been in this position since 2013. She is the Leader of the Conservative Party (central-right, same as our Conservative Party). In reference to Margret Thatcher she is often refereed to as Iron Erna off-shore.

 

Left leaning people, and others who are ignorant of the political landscape here often tout Norway as a working model of a rich Socialist Country. It is nothing of the Sort. It is a Capitalist Country, with a Conservative Party in Power that also has a strong welfare state. But also a very strict welfare state, they do not put up with the lefts hand-wringing like they do here in the UK.

People are rightly annoyed with Cummins. People haven't been able to visit dieing relatives and people have been dieing alone because we have followed the Governments advice of avoiding non necessay travel. Cummins makes a mockery of all that.

Tell ya the truth I don't care if he goes or not, but he came up with the saying 'Stay at home'.

I have to agree with you. It’s a terrible message to send and action needs taken. He should be setting an example of the measures he implemented.

Cummins' has just been seen going into Downing Street.
