The Christian Democratic Party of Norway (Kristelig Folkeparti or KrF, litteraly Christian People's Party), is a Norwegian political party founded in 1933. It is currently in government position together with the Conservative Party (Høyre) and the Liberal Party (Venstre).
The party leader is Dagfinn Høybråten. The current Prime Minister from the party is Kjell Magne Bondevik.
The Christian Democrats follow their European counterparts in many ways, arguing that the state should care for its citizens but not get otherwise economically involved. In the late 1990s they tried to market themselves as a family-friendly party, and their upcoming election campaign is rumoured to be based on traditional moral values, including gay adoption and abortion. KrF have conservative opinions in both issues, arguing against both gay adoption and the prevalent abortion rate in Norway.
