September 2021

As previously stated, the Storting is inline for a shake up that could see a drastic change from the current ruling coalition. It must be noted that PM Solberg's government is a minority government with the withdraw of the Progress Party from her coalition.

Without a clear majority despite the Labour Party having increased its lead, a revival of the Red-Green coalition has been made between the Labour Party, Socialist Left, and the Centre Party. A coalition that had been in majority from 2005 until 2013, the coalition has been revived with the new government holding a 87 seat (2 majority) of the Storting. The Liberals have also made it known they are willing to work closely with the Red-Green coalition, though they also plan to be in opposition on certain key legislations.

This means that Labour Party leader, Støre, is now the new PM of Norway. The right leaning parties were only able to amount 68 votes, with each of their parties losing seats, with a net loss of 12 seats. The Red and Green party saw no changes in their seats, and the Liberal Party saw a minor bump, though the Liberal Party decided to remain in opposition to the new ruling coalition.

New PM Støre has stated he and the coalition have plans for immigration and the new path for Norway to follow in the 2020's.
