^ a: FrP is considered the most moderate of parties associated with right-wing populism, so this characterization has sometimes been disputed.

The Progress Party, commonly shortened as FrP, is a right-wing[7][8][9] to far-right[10][11] political party in Norway. The party is classical-liberal[12] or libertarian.[13]
