The people have spoken. And the people are getting exactly what they ask for, writes Petter Farstad after Høyre became the largest party in the country.

How on earth do the people of the long country of Norway come to the conclusion that the right will benefit the population, which takes us back to the days when they were making one cut after another?
Have they already forgotten the Solberg government that led the country for eight years of prosperity, where they could freely spend billions on oil and ensure that the rich would get more, taxes would rise and differences would soar?
In the style well known to the right, the Solberg government cut several billion dollars in social assistance, even though the economy was good and peace reigned in Europe.
The right promised A large-scale privatization of health and care services if they came to power in the municipal elections. This is such a fast right-wing policy, where owners prioritize big profits for themselves, rather than providing decent wages and working conditions for employees.
A party for the history books
It is the people who have the power: the people have spoken. And people get exactly what they ask for when the Conservative Party and the Progressive Party come to power in municipalities and county councils.
The grim election result This is confirmation that it is never easy to become popular during a recession. As a result, ruling parties now experience low support. Opposition parties that do not have to take responsibility and promise gold and green forests enjoy greater support due to people’s poor memory, who do not remember what it was. t was when the right was sitting with their hands on the steering wheel.
People who believe in recessions that the grass is so much greener on the other side will end up taking a cold shower.
Norway is one of the richest countries in the world, where for many years residents have been riding a wave of growth. The country is now plunged into dark clouds. There are recessions, where people need to take action regarding their personal finances. This creates frustration, which in turn is easy to transmit to political leaders.
Crisis election for Ap
And once again the discussion begins about whether or not Støre is the right man for the Labor Party. Tell me, are people naive? A war is raging in Europe, which has major repercussions. The energy crisis, rising interest rates and increasing inflation are phenomena that many people have noticed.
Our Prime Minister has many has been transformed into a public chopping block that receives buckets of a crisis for which it is not responsible. This is not only unfair, but it also shows a lack of understanding of the serious situation we find ourselves in, as well as the rest of Europe. .
People should not forget that one of the main reasons why Norway was voted one of the best countries in the world to live in is a policy that equalizes differences. May everyone contribute to the community and may the major challenges be better resolved together.
