In the shadow of the ongoing election-count, I thought of making an ordered list where I explain the parties likely to get seats.
Socialist left party. The second most communist party with seats, they're not actually anti-capitalist. The logo is their Norwegian initials, in the colours red for socialism and green for nature.
The Environment Party The(plural) Green. Prioritize nature above everything. The logo is literally their name in a slightly leaf-shaped box.
Christian People's Party. They like christian things, but not all of them. Tried to add "Christianity" to the name of our education in "Religion, view of Life, and Ethics", and also give Christianity an unproportionally large (both measuring from fairness and number of initials) role in its content. The logo is their initials in front of a heart; heart-shaped decorations are traditional for all christian holidays in Norway.
(We) Listen. Our equivalent of the republicans, relatively. The logo is a speed-line through the sky, which follows a drone just out of sight.
Labour Party. Our version of the democrats, relatively. They current boss has money in a hedge-fund in the Cayman Islands, that's how laborious they are. The logo is a red (the colour first used for the Democrats on TV) rose (a reference to the Masonic order).
Left party. Norway's equivalent to Hufflepuff. The logo is their initial on a blue-green circle, because they're slightly conservative, slightly green and all about justice.
Progress party. Originally founded to fight for lower taxes, they now prioritize immortality-research. The logo is a reference to the apples of Idunn, but it's red instead of gold because red paint is cheap and if it was gold foreigners would assume it's the apple of Eris before they got to explain.
Red Party. Want Norway to acknowledge and officially ally with the Unitors, making Norway the first magical nation. The name is based on the colour of blood, but also on the Red Mage from Final Fantasy. The idea is that magic can replace both NATO (combat) and EU (support). The logo is a bloated pentagram coloured in with blood; bloating and filling the star with text is ritual-style typical of the modern unitors, but the text isn't drawn because a specific ritual or nonmagical text would be overcomplicated for a logo and mean no more.
Centre Party. They're the norwegian fanclub of Gerry Adams, believing him to be the reincarnation of Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams and the two sold souls of Garry Newman into the same body. I've never heard about him outside their marketing, so I can't say if they're right. The logo refers to Ireland, where their idol is believed to exist.
edit: revised the order.

"Q. At this point, is it safe to say that Flynn has some serious criminal liability?
A. Flynn is in significant legal jeopardy of criminal prosecution."

Update:
Michael Flynn, Jared Kushner, and Steve Bannon met with King Abdullah II while Flynn was reportedly pressing for a controversial, for-profit deal to build nuclear power plants in the Middle East.
The meeting — details of which have never been reported — is the latest in a series of secret, high-stakes contacts between Trump advisers and foreign governments that have raised concerns about how, in particular, Flynn and senior adviser Jared Kushner handled their personal business interests as they entered key positions of power. And the nuclear project raised additional security concerns about expanding nuclear technology in a tinderbox region of the world. One expert compared it to providing “a nuclear weapons starter kit.”
