Stop Immigration (Norwegian: Stopp Innvandringen) was a Norwegian immigrant hostile political party.

History

It was founded in 1987 and led by Jack Erik Kjuus. It ran for election for the first time in the 1989 parliamentary election were it recieved 0.3% of the votes, and thus no parliamentary representation. The party was never particularly large and had no members in the Norwegian Parliament, but in the 1991 local elections Frank Hove received enough votes to get elected into the Drammen city council. He was re-elected the following year, but in 1995 Kjuus chose to merge the party together with its second batch Help the foreigners home or else we will lose our country into the White Electoral Alliance. Hove however chose to continue under the name Stop Immigration. In 1997, Hove ran for the Fatherland Party's list, but was not elected.

The party had one issue on its party program: to encourage immigrants and refugees to return to their native country, and if necessary send them out by force. The party used the parole "Norway for Norwegians" before the 1989 election.

In the 1991 election the party set its candidates for disposal to the Fatherland Party (together with the National Democrats and Arne Myrdal's newly founded Norway Against Immigration). The purpose of this merging was to try to achieve enough votes to get one representative elected for the 1993 election. Arne Myrdal was the Fatherland Party's parliamentary candidate in Oslo. Myrdal believed they surely would get some representatives into Parliament, and held up the French nationalist Jean-Marie Le Pen's success in France as a source of inspiration. In the election the party however recieved 0.5% of the votes which was not enough to achieve parliamentary representation.
