If it smells like asphalt, you get dizzy – news Rogaland – Local news, TV and radio

Friday’s news-broadcast party leader debate is the last before the election. This is the politicians’ great opportunity to convince the voters who are still undecided. Hammered against free bus The first main topic of the evening was transport. In Stavanger municipality, the Labor Party and the cooperation parties have introduced free public transport. – It is certainly nice to do that if you have everything else in order. I think we should prioritize being there for the weakest, said Erna Solberg (H). Sylvi Listhaug (Frp) showed a newspaper cover from Stavanger Aftenblad about the elderly. – Today in Stavanger Aftenblad we could read that the elderly here in the municipality are lying in their own urine and faeces. I think the vast majority will agree with me that it is more important to secure these services than free buses, said Listhaug.

And it may seem that the FRP’s transport policy is a bit like that. FRP’s precision project Nye Veier AS should be called Dyrere Veier AS, because it devours billions, increases emissions and reduces topsoil, she said. Arild Hermstad (MDG) and Sylvi Listhaug (Frp) argued about car use and new roads. – You should listen when Sylvi speaks, because she speaks on behalf of those who have the most money, Hermstad said about who owns a car in Norway. Listhaug answered bluntly: – It is incredibly far-fetched to hear the MDG talk about rich people being the ones driving. Have you traveled outside Oslo and the big cities at all? Everyone depends on a car, rich or poor, because it’s the only way to get around. Hermstad believes that billions for roads and cars is not the recipe for building good cities. – Many people here want to build a motorway for 60 billion. Priority is given to rich people who will drive their car into Karl Johan and park their cars there. That’s not how you build a good city, replied Hermstad. Started with the Tore Tang Mods song from 1981, Tore Tang is alive and well at parties around the country. Before the party leader debate in Stavanger, both politicians and the public sang the classic with varying degrees of emotion. Olaug Bollestad (KrF) led the way. The Labor Party has struggled in a number of polls, but on Friday received a huge boost in Stavanger: Mayor Kari Nessa Nordtun (Ap) is likely to be able to make a rare turnaround in the oil city. Stavanger is also the place where the last live party leader debate takes place. The debate begins at 20:05 on news 1. The party leaders warmed up by singing the Mods classic Tore Tang with the audience before the debate.

FEES: Increased fees – more or less welfare? WORKFORCE: Norway lacks tens of thousands of workers. How will the parties solve this major challenge? Between the main themes, some of the party leaders are drawn out to duel each other. However, the party leaders first get to know who will be dueling against whom, and on which topic, live.

The party leaders’ last appeal to the voters Towards the end of the party leader debate, each politician gets one minute each to make an appeal. The order was drawn in Nitimen on Wednesday, and is as follows: Center Party, Conservative Party, Left Party, Progressive Party, Red Party, Socialist Left Party, Labor Party, Green Party and Christian People’s Party. The run-up to the debate has been characterized by the summer’s many integrity cases.
