Encyclopedia
The Progress Party’s Youth , is the youth wing of the Norwegian
political party the Progress Party
. It is generally more libertarian than the Progress Party itself, both with regards to economics and politics in general. The current leader of the organization is Ove Vanebo
.
In the organization's manifesto, it states that; "The government should not use economic politics to influence economic development", in stark contrast to the Progress Party's economic politics. It also wishes to replace the public safety net with private insurance arrangements and privatize some schools and hospitals, making the public hospitals "compete" with the privately owned hospitals. The youth party does not support gay marriage in a common church, thus they do support them in getting married in a humanitarian church, due to religiously-influenced views that state that it is against the Bible and what the Church is built on.
