General description of the Progress Party

The Progress Party describes itself as "liberal" at its homepage. Mentioning it here would however be difficult, because the term "liberal" would have to be explained, at least out of concern for the American audience who define the term "liberal" very differently. It would take to much place for an off-topic explanation. --Heptor 20:54, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

CEO Tate & Lyle, Norge?

I have seen this written before, but was he really CEO Norge of a huge company like Tate & Lyle, at the age of 26? It doesn't sound very likely. Carl I. has a diploma from a technical college in Newcastle, (that's not exactly Harvard Business School).--JO 24 21:20, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since no one has given a source for this I am removing it.--JO 24 (talk) 20:08, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you could have just read the short Stortinget-bio listed as the first external link here. And, whether or not he studied at a technical college in Newcastle, he does have diplomas in Business and in Marketing from London as the article also states. Anyway, I've made the external link ref clearer now. Shanes (talk) 21:35, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When you say he has "diplomas...from London", that implies from London University. Hagen claims on the Stortingsidene to have a "Higher National Deploma" (a very low-grade qualification that was awarded at that time by trade schools) from the so-called "(Chartered) Institute of Marketing" in London. This is a (commercial?) institution I'd never heard of, but it turns out to be shady enough that its small wiki page (it's like a commercial) is managed by one person, who apparently deletes anything added or taken away by anyone else.--JO 24 (talk) 17:01, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism section dosen't include any criticism !?!

The criticism section now retorts something that isnt even mentioned in the article at all. In fact the criticism section dosen't include any criticism at all! Hagen is a highly criticised person so inclusion of crticism of him shouldn't be a problem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.202.218.112 (talk) 02:35, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I read the criticism section and I found it to be hilarious. Suggesting that he has a racist agenda is a direct lie and is largely a claim made by radicals on the left and others who really have no idea what the term racism involves. Hagen is merly critical to opening the borders allowing for a cultural stew. This doesn't imply that he has racist back thoughts. If someone believes otherwise one should really dig into what racism really involves.
