Høyres voting shares ( Storting election 2017 )

Høyre (abbreviation H ; nynorsk Høgre ; German  rights , common name conservatives ) is a conservative party in Norway with a center-right orientation. It was founded on August 25, 1884. Chairwoman has been Erna Solberg since 2004 , who also headed the parliamentary group in Storting Parliament from 2005 to 2013 .

Høyre was last involved in government from 2001 to 2005. In the center-right coalition of the second Bondevik government , Høyre brought by far the largest number of mandates, but had to leave the office of head of government to the Christian People's Party . In the opposition, the conservatives lagged significantly behind the equally right-wing, national-conservative Progress Party . However, at the turn of the year 2011/12, surveys promised a reversal of the balance of power and thus a return of the conservatives to their old strength. The traditionally difficult coexistence between the two big bourgeois parties was made even more difficult. After their clear victory in the 2013 election , the Conservatives signed a coalition agreement with the Progressive Party on October 7, 2013. The Solberg government was formed on October 16 after the outgoing Jens Stoltenberg II government submitted its resignation as announced.

The party supports Norway's membership of the EU in principle and is an advocate of the social market economy .
