if it happened again. The nomination from the member of the Norwegian Storting is real, but he's a total right-wing anti-immigration crackpot in the mold of Steve King, and he also nominated His Lardship previously because of his love affair with Kim Jung-Un.

However, there is no way he would get enough support to win. The story was a very right wing Norweign politician, with the ability to nominate did.

He is most widely known for his opposition to immigration, especially Muslim immigration.[1] He believes immigration policy to be the single most important political issue facing Norwegian society.[2] In 2014 he released his book about immigration politics titled Mens orkesteret fortsetter å spille (While the orchestra continues to play).[3][4] In foreign policy he has supported Vladimir Putin and criticized the sanctions against Russia that the conservatives pushed for; he has also said the west should recognise the Russian occupation and annexation of Crimea.[5][6][7][8][9] He has been sharply critical of United States foreign policy prior to the election of Donald Trump.[10] In 2018 and 2020 he put forward Trump's name as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize; any member of parliament may propose candidates.[11]

He has been described by media commentators and scholars as far-right,[12][11][13][14][15] anti-immigrant and Islamophobic.[1][12][11][13][14][16][15] In 2019 Tybring-Gjedde said his party should position itself as national conservative.[17] In 2020 he spearheaded an attempt within his party to declare Norway a "patriotic beacon", arguing that "liberalism is a dead ideology"; summarising the core content of this policy, he said that his party should call for "a complete ban on non-western immigration", a referendum on immigration and adopt the view that "climate change is not man-made".[18][19] He favours cooperation with the Sweden Democrats[20] and has also advocated limited government intervention, reduced public spending, and tax reduction.[21] Tybring-Gjedde has stoked controversy on numerous occasions.[22] His pro-Russian views have been criticised by Norwegian conservatives.[9] He has been described as "one of Norway's most controversial anti-immigration politicians";[23] political scientist Sindre Bangstad has described him as one of the "main traffickers in extreme right-wing rhetorical tropes about Islam and Muslims" in Norway.[1] Tybring-Gjedde was a civil servant in the Ministry of Defence before he entered politics.
