Well, seeing as how they're centrist Republicans in a country where most people would just go to Centre for convenience, it makes sense.

I got my first two wishes: A new government and a KrF under 4% doomed to irrelevance.

I did not get MDG over 4%, nor did I get to see V joining KrF under 4%. V has angered me during their time working with H and FrP.

I expect the parties will have different expectations for how quickly they want Norway to move away from oil. Climate change was a big issue in the campaign.

I assume you supported Ap or some party in the center-left coalition. MDG has posted steady gains and KrF has been just falling. FrP posted a fourth straight loss, dropping down to around the 11.5% mark.

They won one of the five seats in Finnmark, which is at the very north of Norway. That means they don't need the 4% threshold to achieve representation.

'Norway’s left-wing opposition wins election in a landslide'

Sources in the international media have identified that all five Nordic countries - Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Norway and Sweden - will now all be run by centre-left governments, the first time since 1959.

I find the entry of Patient Focus into the Storting positively interesting. The UK has a similar movement called the Independent Kidderminster Hospital and Health Concern, which once had an MP from 2001 to 2010.

For Iceland, the right-wing Independence Party is the largest, though the Left-Green Movement is in a coalition with them and negotiations led to Katrin Jakobsdottir, the party leader, becoming the PM after the 2017 election.

The small scandal has continued to snowball, and the leader of KrF is now stepping down in disgrace from both his leadership position in the party and as minister of Children and Families.

Turns out, tax evasion is frowned upon.

I supported MDG. I used to be a supporter of Venstre, but they have let me down too many times.
