News of the Norwegian opposition labor party winning the election

The expected results show that the center-left opposition party is expected to win the Norwegian parliamentary election.

Forecasts at the end of the voting on Monday showed that the Norwegian center-left opposition party is expected to win the country’s parliamentary elections, with the focus of the debate on economic inequality and climate change.

It is widely expected that Labor Party leader Jonas Gal Storey will form the next government, either as a minority or with several other parties, thus ending the Conservative Prime Minister Erna Solberg. Years in power.

Nearly 3.9 million Norwegians are eligible to vote. More than 42% of voters voted early.

But to form a viable cabinet, Storey must persuade potential center-left partners to compromise on policies ranging from oil and private ownership to Norway’s EU relations.

Norway’s status as a major oil and gas producer has always been at the core of this movement, and despite the progress made by environmental parties, getting rid of oil and the jobs it creates may be a gradual process.

“The demand for oil is declining. This is happening by market forces. We don’t need to issue a decree… but build a bridge for future activities,” Labor Party Energy Director Espen Bart Eide told AFP.

“We will continue to engage in oil activities, but we have to admit that the best oil year has passed,” he said.

The Election Bureau predicts that if the vote count exceeds 65%, the majority of the Labour Party and the other four center-left parties may increase from the current 81 to 100.

At least 85 seats are required to win a majority in the 169-seat parliament.

If the prediction proves to be correct, Stoll can have a majority in the Labor Party, the Centre Party and the Socialist Left, is expected to gain 89 seats, and avoid cooperation with the Marxist Red Party or the anti-oil Green Party.

However, it may be difficult enough for the rural-based centrist party and most urban socialists to govern together, because the two have different views on a range of issues from oil to taxation.

A few people in power may also be an option for the Labour Party. Stoll stated that his government will focus on reducing carbon dioxide emissions in accordance with the 2015 Paris Agreement, but refuses to offer any ultimatum on energy policy.

The leader of the Labour Party promised that if he wins, he will solve the problem of inequality.

Stoere is a former civil servant who was elected to the Stortinget in 2009. He also served as foreign minister from 2005-2013 under then-Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and took over the reins of the party when Stoltenberg became NATO’s secretary general.
