Abstract
The main anti-immigration parties in Scandinavia are the two Progress Parties in Norway and Denmark and the Danish People’s Party, formed in 1995 as break from and after 1998 the de facto successor to the Danish Progress Party. Initially, immigration was not even on the parties’ agendas. The Progress Parties were formed as anti-tax parties, reacting to the rapid expansion of the welfare state. The Norwegian party was inspired by the success of the Danish Party that had been launched in 1972 by tax lawyer Mogens Glistrup. Both parties had their electoral breakthroughs in landslide elections in 1973, with 15.9 percent and 5.0 percent of the votes respectively.
