Norwegians vote in tightly fought parliamentary poll
The Norwegians vote in a close race between a left -wing block led by the Labor Party and a right -wing block led by the populist progress party and the conservatives.
In the two -day parliamentary elections that ended on Monday evening, at least nine political parties are expected to win seats, but only the leaders of the three major parties are candidates for the Prime Minister.
The basic issues in the campaign include the cost of life, taxation and public services, and the result of the effect of the result on energy and power supplies on Europe and Norway’s 2 trillion dollars (A3.1 trillion $ $).
The geopolitical voters were largely appeared, and analysts said that it could benefit Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoeere, a former external minister, a safe pair of Labour and leader Jonas Gahr Stoeere.
According to recent opinion polls, labor and four small parties have won 88 seats in the Norwegian Parliament.
The progress party and the conservative party, with two small groups, the course to win the remaining 81 chairs, but the difference in the idea surveys between the left and right blocks remains in a margin of error.
Since 2021, Stoee has needed support to support the agenda of the Agricultural Center Party and the Socialist Left, but the surveys show that it may have to expand the scope to include the communist party and the greens.
“The most likely scenario is the re -election of Stoere, but this will be a ‘holdti’ coalition that will go in a very different directions,” Jonas Stein, who is an associate professor at the University of Political Science. He said.
Requests from Greens and Communists may include more taxes for wealthy and high gains, and more general expenditure than Norway’s largest dominant reserve funds for wealthy and high gains in oil and gas research.
The return of US President Donald Trump and Russia to the war in Ukraine was a certain sources of anxiety in Norway, a nation of 5.6 million people with an export -oriented economy, and a common border with Russia in the North Pole.
The Labor Party was seen to have won 27 percent of the votes, the average of September’s Pollofpolls.tom, which would make it the largest party.
Kristin Tellefsen, a 50 -year -old high school teacher who spoke with Reuters in Oslo on Saturday, said that equality and integration are the most important priorities and added that the Prime Minister thought that he had done a great job.
“Stoee is a great resource for this country.” He said.
In the right -wing camp, former Prime Minister Erna Solberg’s conservatives, public sector reform and Norway’s reserve tax campaign carried out a campaign.
However, as in other Western countries, voters are increasingly turning to more populist right wing options.
Sylvi Listhaug’s anti -immigration progress party is now about 21 percent of the votes, and at 14 percent of the conservatives can easily vote in front of the conservatives.
In the event of a right -wing victory, Solberg and Listhaug did not clearly agree that he should be the next prime minister, and some voters took care to support both.
