About Erna Solberg
- Erna Solberg (Norwegian: ['æ??n? ?su?lbæ?g]; born 24 February 1961) is a Norwegian politician serving as Prime Minister of Norway since 2013 and Leader of the Conservative Party since May 2004.
- Inspired by Margaret Thatcher's "Iron Lady" nickname, Solberg has been given the nickname "Iron Erna".Solberg was first elected to be a member of the Storting in 1989 and served as Minister of Local Government and Regional Development in Bondevik's Second Cabinet from 2001 to 2005.
- During her tenure, she oversaw the tightening of immigration policy and the preparation of a proposed reform of the administrative divisions of Norway.
- After the 2005 election, she chaired the Conservative Party parliamentary group until 2013.
- Solberg has emphasized the social and ideological basis of the Conservative policies, although the party also has become visibly more pragmatic.After winning the September 2013 election, she became the 28th Prime Minister of Norway and the second female to hold the position after Gro Harlem Brundtland.
- Solberg's Cabinet, often referred to informally as the "Blue-Blue Cabinet", was a two-party minority government consisting of the Conservative Party and Progress Party.
- The cabinet established a formalized co-operation with the Liberal Party and Christian Democratic Party in the Storting.
- The Government was re-elected in the 2017 election, and was extended to include the Liberal Party in January 2018.
- This extended minority coalition is informally referred to as the "Blue-Green cabinet." In May 2018, Solberg surpassed KÃ¥re Willoch and became the longest serving Prime Minister of Norway to represent the Conservative party.
- In January 2019, the government was extended to also include the Christian Democrats and thereby secured a majority in Parliament.
