He and the rest of the leadership in the Kristiansand and Agder Labor Party have just come out of a meeting with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr St\u00f8re.  The government&#8217;s decision on a referendum in S\u00f8gne and Songdalen has set the Christiansand politicians&#8217; anger on fire.  &#8211; It was a useful and good chat, and good to sit down and talk openly and honestly, says the Prime Minister.

There he had a meeting with Skisland, which he describes as &#8220;good and frank&#8221;.  But they did not reach an agreement.  Then the trip went to S\u00f8gne, where several had turned up to mark their opposition to a divorce.  &#8211; Everyone should be heard.
