@sz_duras There is very little tolerance for it in Norwegian media and politics. There have been several scandals in the last year where ministers have changed because of problems with impartiality. The spouses of politicians buying weapon shares while the politicians themselves are handling issues about whether the government should buy weapons for Ukraine, for example. Norwegian politics are assumed to be quite clean, but because of this intolerance rather than innate honesty. I guess we believe politicians in other regimes to be more corrupt than our own, in particular third-world and autocratic regimes. I guess the power of the oil lobby and so on is underestimated, though.
