Norway's government has collapsed over the decision to allow an ISIS bride to return to the country from Syria with her children.
The populist Progress Party pulled out of Norway's coalition government today after the mother was permitted repatriation so that her gravely ill five-year-old son could receive medical treatment.
The 29-year-old and her two children have been living in the Al-Hol camp in Syria - notorious in Britain as the detention centre which held Shamima Begum.
Prime Minister Erna Solberg said she would forge on with a minority government comprised of her Conservatives, the centrist Liberal Party and the Christian Democrats.
Progress Party leader Siv Jensen said that 'the cup is now full' after the decision to allow the woman to return to Norway, on which her anti-immigration party feels it was not consulted.
She added that when Solberg's coalition expanded a year ago to include the liberals and the Christian Democrats, veering more to the centre and becoming a majority government, 'enthusiasm dropped.'
'Over time, politics was too much based on compromises,' said Jensen, who is Norway's outgoing finance minister.
Prime Minister Solberg said she 'understood' why the Progress Party wanted to leave her coalition government, adding she would seek cooperation with the party - which is Norway's third-largest.
Norway's next parliamentary election is scheduled for September 2021.
To stay in office until then and pass legislation in the 169-seat parliament, Solberg needs the support of parties outside the government, including the Progress Party.
