Sure. Legolas Send a noteboard - 03/03/2012 06:58:07 PM
We had little luck looking it up ourselves, and I am far too fried mentally now to try again just this moment (else I would be replying to Isaac also.)

It's really just a matter of entering "Norway" and "election" into Wikipedia, you know. :P

Incidentally, some of those articles seem to be mentioning that Oslo is in fact biased against with regards to seat distribution, in the sense that the thinly populated peripherical regions get considerably more seats relative to their population than Oslo does - apparently the far right feels that that's costing them seats.

Now That Romney Is Officially the Republican Presidential Nominee: Pick the President! Joel - 29/02/2012 08:29:02 PM 1512 Views
I agree Romney will be the candidate. Tom - 29/02/2012 08:54:52 PM 805 Views
I would say the math favors Romney over Obama, but it will probably be close either way. Joel - 01/03/2012 03:37:52 PM 899 Views
I have never understood the point of the Electoral College. Tim - 29/02/2012 11:39:11 PM 880 Views
You don't think like a politician then Isaac - 01/03/2012 12:38:36 AM 938 Views
I certainly hadn't considered much of that. I'm glad you posted it. *NM* Ghavrel - 01/03/2012 07:15:03 AM 396 Views
I also have not seen most of that mentioned in the popular vs. electoral debate. Joel - 01/03/2012 02:34:31 PM 824 Views
what about one vote one value? wadsy - 02/03/2012 11:51:32 PM 988 Views
That has not really changed. Joel - 03/03/2012 03:30:34 AM 1084 Views
a bit simplistic and unrealistic wadsy - 02/03/2012 11:44:02 PM 875 Views
When illustrating a point realism is not required and simplicity is a plus Isaac - 03/03/2012 03:04:26 AM 907 Views
I have a couple quibbles. Joel - 03/03/2012 05:23:46 AM 909 Views
Oh, certainly, I'm over-generalizing but I was already getting long-winded Isaac - 03/03/2012 06:52:04 AM 851 Views
I hate when people do that. Joel - 05/03/2012 09:49:36 AM 868 Views
What a bunch of waffle! wadsy - 03/03/2012 10:47:19 AM 1015 Views
First you complain of simplicity then of my lack of brevity? Isaac - 03/03/2012 11:18:11 AM 782 Views
A simplistic argument doesn't mean it's brief *NM* wadsy - 03/03/2012 09:55:51 PM 416 Views
Also I don't like this refrain that implies only the POTUS vote matters Isaac - 03/03/2012 03:29:58 AM 1015 Views
IMHO, parliaments choosing prime ministers is LESS democratic than the electoral college. Joel - 03/03/2012 05:57:41 AM 822 Views
Re: IMHO, parliaments choosing prime ministers is LESS democratic than the electoral college. Isaac - 03/03/2012 07:02:30 AM 862 Views
*is learning* Joel - 04/03/2012 09:49:42 PM 846 Views
Re: *is learning* Isaac - 04/03/2012 09:56:16 PM 888 Views
To the extent I can (yet again) claim to speak for Europeans... Legolas - 04/03/2012 10:33:01 PM 825 Views
I've fairly limited exposure and that from some years back Isaac - 04/03/2012 11:35:12 PM 955 Views
Re: *is learning* Joel - 05/03/2012 12:08:08 AM 918 Views
You could imitate the French. Legolas - 07/03/2012 10:40:16 PM 830 Views
That seems... unlikely.... Joel - 08/03/2012 03:03:54 PM 855 Views
It does, doesn't it? Legolas - 08/03/2012 06:11:08 PM 1015 Views
After I thought about it more, I realized France and the US are not so different in that respect. Joel - 08/03/2012 08:51:03 PM 798 Views
More similar than the other major Western democracies at least, agreed. Legolas - 08/03/2012 09:32:55 PM 803 Views
I did not realize lack of a parliamentary majority dictated his cabinet. Joel - 09/03/2012 12:27:31 AM 875 Views
I don't know much about Norwegian politics, but you seem to be wrong. Legolas - 03/03/2012 06:18:08 PM 878 Views
Do you happen to have that link, please? Joel - 03/03/2012 06:46:31 PM 764 Views
Sure. Legolas - 03/03/2012 06:58:07 PM 938 Views
Guess we did not read far enough. Joel - 03/03/2012 10:38:07 PM 865 Views
Yeah, you have to know a few things about European politics... Legolas - 03/03/2012 11:49:44 PM 1086 Views
Hey, man, I am an AMERICAN: I do not HAVE to know ANYTHING! Joel - 04/03/2012 11:46:57 PM 1088 Views
Re: Hey, man, I am an AMERICAN: I do not HAVE to know ANYTHING! Legolas - 05/03/2012 11:14:42 PM 1451 Views

Re: Yeah, you have to know a few things about European politics... DomA - 05/03/2012 06:56:24 AM 876 Views
The thing is, regions often have national relevance far greater than their populations would suggest Joel - 05/03/2012 10:21:26 AM 841 Views
Fascinating. Legolas - 05/03/2012 10:52:32 PM 880 Views
Re: Yeah, you have to know a few things about European politics... Macharius - 08/03/2012 07:11:12 PM 822 Views
Many valid reasons, including those Isaac cited. Joel - 02/03/2012 02:26:37 AM 985 Views
Most states are ignored anyway wadsy - 02/03/2012 11:56:12 PM 1037 Views
Only because and to the extent they have already committed themselves. Joel - 03/03/2012 03:41:39 AM 897 Views
Why would we do something logical? Dude, you're utterly ridiculous. *NM* callandor1000 - 05/03/2012 04:53:38 PM 448 Views
I'm kind of sad- does this mean Santorum won't be providing wonderful sound bites anymore? beetnemesis - 01/03/2012 02:22:31 PM 805 Views
Nothing has shut him up yet, why should this? *NM* Dannymac - 01/03/2012 05:27:30 PM 432 Views
Maybe he'll pull a Palin and go touring around the country *NM* beetnemesis - 01/03/2012 07:06:02 PM 395 Views
No, it probably means we will get more and worse than ever. Joel - 01/03/2012 11:25:25 PM 978 Views
Romney or Obama, either way, America loses. *NM* Hieshyn - 02/03/2012 01:10:26 AM 615 Views
Hard to dispute that either; six of one, half a dozen of the other. Joel - 02/03/2012 01:38:07 AM 776 Views
Couldn't agree more *NM* Hieshyn - 02/03/2012 06:52:51 PM 510 Views
It reminds me of when Denver backed into the NFL playoffs. Joel - 02/03/2012 09:36:13 PM 776 Views
I'd agree hope and change was extremely unrealistic wadsy - 02/03/2012 11:58:57 PM 787 Views
Well, you know my story there; I voted for Obama and got Hillary (at best.) Joel - 03/03/2012 01:43:20 AM 806 Views
Update: Despite rules requiring they be split, the MI GOP is giving Romney BOTH statewide delegates. Joel - 02/03/2012 11:10:56 PM 898 Views
Romney is damaged wadsy - 02/03/2012 11:27:33 PM 778 Views
Obama is rather damaged also; it will probably come down to FL and OH, yet again. Joel - 03/03/2012 02:23:53 AM 921 Views
I'm hoping for Rubio as VP... then FL probably won't matter Isaac - 03/03/2012 04:28:08 AM 781 Views
You should put that on your license plates. Joel - 03/03/2012 06:41:34 AM 917 Views
Re: You should put that on your license plates. Isaac - 03/03/2012 06:51:00 AM 878 Views
Ax murderers are people, too! Joel - 04/03/2012 08:23:41 PM 824 Views
And what are you basing all of this on? wadsy - 03/03/2012 09:54:06 PM 888 Views
The closeness of several states when Obama was far more popular, and UTs heavily Mormon neighbors. Joel - 03/03/2012 11:44:06 PM 849 Views
Wrong wadsy - 04/03/2012 08:08:56 AM 973 Views
Higher turnout magnifies the Mormon effect. Joel - 04/03/2012 08:08:09 PM 1024 Views
Your reasoning is flawed and if you can't see it there is no hope for you wadsy - 05/03/2012 11:39:04 PM 945 Views
Yeah, I think we had that conversation already, several times, in fact. Joel - 07/03/2012 05:36:45 AM 765 Views
Do you have any knowledge of statistics at all? wadsy - 07/03/2012 09:04:15 PM 931 Views
I hate this message board wadsy - 07/03/2012 09:06:30 PM 710 Views
It would probably help if you deleted the stuff from two, three posts back? Legolas - 07/03/2012 09:25:40 PM 829 Views
Some, though it is far from exhaustive. Joel - 08/03/2012 02:29:06 PM 965 Views
