Stop Immigration (Norwegian: Stopp Innvandringen) was a Norwegian anti-immigration political party.

History

Stop Immigration was founded in 1987 and led by Jack Erik Kjuus. It first ran candidates in the 1989 Norwegian parliamentary election, where it received 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. Hove was re-elected in the 1995 election with 2.3% of the votes in Drammen, but in 1995 Kjuus chose to merge the party together with a second group, Help the foreigners home or else we will lose our country, to form the White Electoral Alliance. Frank Hove however chose to continue under the name Stop Immigration. In the 1997 election, he 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 slogan "Norway for Norwegians" before the 1989 election.

In the 1991 election the party put its candidates at the disposal of 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 at the 1993 election. Arne Myrdal was the Fatherland Party's parliamentary candidate in Oslo. Myrdal believed they 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 received 0.5% of the votes which was not enough to achieve parliamentary representation.
