NATIONAL DAY
Watch Norway’s entire government do a May 17 dance routine
Norway's state broadcaster just NRK just managed to get the country's entire government to attempt the new dance routine it has put together for National Day celebrations -- with predictably hilarious results.

Prime Minister Erna Solberg showed herself an uninhibited and funky mover, with culture minister Abid Raja also putting in a commendable performance.
“It was a fun challenge to get and then I so I thought we should do it as the whole government, and not just as the Prime Minister,” Solberg said in a video of the recording put out by NRK.
Raja gave the government top marks.
“I'd give it a dice throw of four to five,” he told NRK. “A lot of people in the government have good rhythm. We've seen Erna dance before, so I hardly dare say 'groovy baby', but I think it's great that Erna is so 'sporty'.”
It's hardly part of the job description for a government minister, so it feels a little unfair to ridicule the poorer performers.
The country's employment minister Torbjørn Røe Isaksen wisely preempted any commentary on his wooden performance, by posting a short edit on Instagram showing Raja pulling some bhangra-style moves, while he sways his knees in an inhibited fashion behind him.
This is Solberg's second social media dance performance of the month.
On May 16, she posted a short video of her dancing on TikTok with two nurses.
