The evening is not old, the uncertainty is not gone, but you should already be aware of this on this election night – a night that will go down in Norwegian political history. And keep in mind that this thriller is not over. Here are four important points about tonight’s results: Right-wing largest party The Labor Party is no longer the country’s largest party in elections. 99 years ago it was a very different Norway and a rather different Labor Party. Although Ap has lost several elections in recent decades, it has rarely been really exciting which party is the biggest. This year, the political landscape will change, although it will not necessarily be turned upside down in your municipality. Støre can manage expectations internally in the party as much as he wants, this does something to the self-esteem in Ap. It does a lot for the self-esteem of the Right. It turns on a matter of course for three generations of Norwegians and it could potentially change the political landscape for several years to come. Erna Solberg is the longest-serving party leader in the Conservative Party’s history. She is the longest-serving prime minister the party has had continuously. And she now gets another significant scalp in her belt. The right’s progress is broad and solid. The FRP is also making solid progress with growth of over three percentage points. Support throughout the country It is too early to clarify the big cities At the time of writing, it is still even in the cities. Oslo: Ap probably loses the majority after what looks like it could be a miserable election result. MDG is also doing poorly. Bergen: In Bergen, none of the blocs has a majority. It will take time to negotiate a solution. The INP is on the verge, which will make the civic negotiations interesting, but it is clear from the Conservative Party’s city council leader candidate that she feels she has been given a mandate and an opportunity to take over power. Trondheim: There is still an opportunity for the red-greens to hold on to Trondheim, but it depends on negotiations which are currently difficult to advance. Especially because the political distance between the Red Party and the Center Party is large. Stavanger: Ap’s best city and a good election campaign do not seem to be enough. It is heading towards civic victory in Stavanger. For others, also strong civic results in a number of surrounding municipalities. Kristiansand: The Conservative Party can get its dream majority with the Conservative Party, KrF and FRP. To avoid having to negotiate with one of the many small parties on the bourgeois side. There are five bourgeois lists in the city council that are not represented in the Storting. Tromsø: As expected, a continued red-green government is well within reach. Large SP drop, but positive election campaign effect The Center Party is not halved, but falls sharply back by 5.9 percentage points to 8.5 per cent. It is Sp’s second best result after the EU match. It also means that the Center Party is making more progress than Ap compared to how it was at the start of the election campaign. In Sp, they know very well that it is chains of mayors that count for more in everyday politics than percentages on an election vigil. Sp has a completely different negotiation space than Ap. A newcomer to count with the Industry and Business Party makes it a good result with 3.1 percent. Although in some measurements they have been measured significantly higher, it is a good result for the party which has been built up from scratch. In as many as 19 municipalities, the party receives over 10 percent support. Although the party has profited from energy policy, opposition to wind power and social policy, there is considerably less attention to the party than there was to the People’s Action No to more Tolls four years ago. In comparison, they managed 2.4 per cent nationally. What INP can become nationally in the run-up to the general election in two years is exciting to follow.
