Norway is one of the few countries in the world that has ”fuck you” money and a functioning representative electoral system. If the parliament appoints the committee, I find it politically suicidal for any representative to dare to directly interfere with the commissions deliberation and choices. There’s hardly anything positive to gain from it for a representative.

The only country that has "fuck you" anything is unfortunately the US.

		The current US administration and its voting population is making sure that this won't be the case soon. It's gonna be hard to win back the good will that was built through decades of diplomacy and trade. Even harder when their conventional armed forces have been underwhelming in the attack on Iran.

how does this imply that they can be disconnected from politics, some may argue on the contrary due to what you just stated.

		It cannot be disconnected from politics. The other poster mentioned independence.
