The right-hand wind that has blown over the country over time has now reached 69 degrees north. H\u00f8yre and Frp are now bigger than the red-green parties that currently govern Northern Norway’s largest city. And the Right Party is by far the largest party, with 26.9 per cent support. This is shown by a party survey carried out by Norstat for news. Should the outcome of the survey be the election result, the Labor Party will receive a support of 18.9 per cent. – It is far from what we want, says Mayor Gunnar Wilhelmsen from the Labor Party.

Margins of error from 0.8\u20135 pp. Source: Norstat Status Q for Ap With this support in Troms\u00f8, the Labor Party has not recovered from the stain since the last municipal election, which was seen as historically bad. In any case, if Norstat’s poll was to be the election result. In 2019 – precisely – 18.9 percent of voters gave the Labor Party with mayor Gunnar Wilhelmsen their trust. With, among other things, a strong Center Party behind it, it still held renewed confidence in the Arctic city. That time. The question is now whether eight years of red-green rule in the Arctic city is coming to an end, and whether the cold summer so far in the Paris of the Nordics can be due to a blue wind. – It is very nice that the Conservative Party is moving forward and that the bourgeois is getting stronger. There may be a change in Troms\u00f8, but every vote counts, says right-wing mayoral candidate Anne Berit Figenschau. The right-wing party’s Anne Berit Figenschau warns of hard work in the run-up to the election to topple the Labor Party and Gunnar Wilhelmsen from power.

With the Center Party in the background, which according to Norstat’s survey gets 3.6 percent support, the way is now being paved for the right. – Measurement is measurement and choice is choice. We will be working hard towards election day to tell what the Conservative Party’s solutions are for Troms\u00f8, says Figenschau. Should it last all the way to election day, the Conservative Party and FRP alone secure 18 mandates. The three parties that currently govern the city get 15 mandates and become dependent on seeking new partners. – This is the lowest measurement we have had. We believe that we will get much better numbers when election day comes in September, says Wilhelmsen. But Wilhelmsen is still popular among Troms\u00f8’s residents. When asked who the citizens of Troms\u00f8 prefer as mayor, it is still Gunnar Wilhelmsen they want. 33 percent of those who responded say they prefer the incumbent mayor. 26 percent prefer H\u00f8yre’s Anne Berit Figenschau. Gunnar Wilhelmsen is, as always, in an exuberant mood, even when a blue wind blows over his bangs. Photo: Dan Henrik Klausen \/ news From gentle breeze to storm Election researcher Jonas Stein at UiT Norway’s Arctic University says that the survey shows a far more progressive bourgeois side in Troms\u00f8 than previously. – This is something we have not previously seen in the local measurements. There, the national right-wing storm has become more of an embarrassing breeze. Here, however, we see some tendencies, says Stein. – Then we’ll see if this is a single poll or a trend that strengthens over the summer and towards the election campaign, he says. As in all political opinion polls, Norstat’s survey takes into account margin of error of percentage for the largest parties. Jonas Stein believes that it must also be taken into account that the measurement is based on only 597 interviews. – This means that we get a certain amount of uncertainty. But this measurement may be an indication that there may be changes underway in Troms\u00f8’s politics, he says. It will be a fierce battle for power in Northern Norway’s largest city. Photo: Dan Henrik Klausen \/ news Frp can be decisive Another factor that can be decisive is whether the Conservative Party and Frp find the tone. By all accounts, the Conservative Party will depend on the FRP to gain a majority, which Norstat’s recent survey also shows. During the municipal elections in 2019, the two parties did not agree to cooperate. FRP refused to cooperate in a position with a party that wants tolls. Although tolls have now been introduced in Troms\u00f8, the FRP is not giving up. Also ahead of this autumn’s election, the FRP has given the Conservative Party a toll ultimatum in order to manage the city together. The Conservative Party must simply turn around in the toll matter if a collaboration is to become relevant, the FRP is to be believed. For the Right there may be little to gain by turning towards the center and seeking cooperation. The left has strengthened somewhat since the last election. KrF, on the other hand, has almost been erased.
