We have only the two powerful parties, the center-right party and the far right party.  

I'll go with Labour.

from wiki, pr the Red party is not in the parlement, but they are a sizeable enough party to be in the poll and they are to logical counterweight to the Progress party

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliament_of_Norway
the Storting (English: Great thing; Norwegian: Stortinget, literally "the great assembly") is the supreme legislature of Norway, located in Oslo. The unicameral parliament has 169 members, and is elected every four years based on party-list proportional representation in nineteen plural member constituencies. The assembly is led by a presidium of a president and five vice presidents; since 2009 Dag Terje Andersen has been president. The members are allocated to twelve standing committees, as well as four procedural committees. Almost all public agencies of Norway are subordinate to the government, but three ombudsmen, the Parliamentary Intelligence Oversight Committee and the Office of the Auditor General are directly subordinate to parliament.

Parliament was established by the Constitution of Norway in 1814 and has since 1866 met in the Parliament of Norway Building, designed by Emil Victor Langlet. Parliamentarianism was established in 1884, and until 2009 practiced qualified unicameralism with two chambers: the Lagting and the Odelsting. Following the 2009 election, seven parties are represented in parliament: the Labour Party (64 representatives), the Progress Party (41), the Conservative Party (30), the Socialist Left Party (11), the Centre Party (11), the Christian Democratic Party (10) and the Liberal Party (2).

The parliament in its present form was first constituted at Eidsvoll in 1814, although its origins can be traced back to the allting or common assemblies as early as the 9th century.

Do all these parties have legitimate representation? 8 parties for 5,000,000 people is a far more diffuse political landscape than 2 parties for over 300,000,000.

exactly. That's why I chose it. 

Without actually living in Norway I can't say exactly who I'd vote for, but it'd be either Labour or Socialist.

Good lord, I hope not.  The party's name should be Regress, not Progress.

I read the descriptions too quickly but probably Progress Party.
