Today, the center-right coalition in Norway collapsed due to controversies about returning of an ISIS returnee and her children. The right-libertarian (sort of?) Progress Party refused to support a return of the mother, but Prime Minister Erna Solberg initially defied against the governmental agreement, so the Progress Party left the coalition. Without the Progress Party, the coalition of Conservatives, Liberals and Christian Democrats is left with no majority in Parliament, although it appears that the Progress Party will continue to back the incumbent government.
Most recent poll (2017 result in brackets):
Labour Party (social democratic) 25.5 (27.4)
Center Party (agrarian, protectionist) 20.9 (10.3)
Hoyre/Right (liberal-conservative) 18.7 (25.0)
Progress Party (right-libertarian) 11.8 (15.2)
Socialist (well yeah, socialist) 7.4 (6.0)
Red (marxist) 4.4 (2.4)
Environmental Party (green) 4.3 (3.2)
Left (liberal) 2.7 (4.4)
Christian Democrats (conservative) 2.5 (4.2)
It has to be noted that there is a 4-%-threshold (although parties can enter Parliament via district seats), which would mean that the current government would lose in a blowout.
Thoughts on that?
Plus, does anybody know why in hell the Center Party has been surging for months to be close to become the country's largest party?
