Hans Kristian Bauge is a Norwegian former taxi driver who became known as a participant in television debates in the 1990s.
Biography
Bauge was a regular participant in the television programs Klart svar [no] and Lønning & Staff [no] and was often allowed to express his views. He was supposed to represent the "man on the street" and was popular for his personality, with thick glasses, clenched fists, and a loud voice characterized by anger and passion.
The background to Bauge's participation was a dispute he had with Oslo Taxisentral [no] (and later the Oslo municipality itself) over the suspension of his taxi license. This came about after he had insisted on the rights to drive a taxi in a uniform of his own design and refusal to accept credit cards.[3][4] He sent several faxes about his case to TVNorge and was eventually invited onto Klart svar.[3]
In 1997, during an argument with Odd F. Lindberg over whaling on an episode of Lønning & Staff, Bauge produced a bloody cut of whale meat to emphasize his support for the practice.[5]
Bauge was originally associated with the Progress Party, but later moved to the Norway Democrats.[4] He received the second place nomination for the Norway Democrats in Akershus during the 2009 Norwegian parliamentary election.[6]
