On Wednesday this week it became clear that Jens Stoltenberg will join Thorbjørn Jagland in the Foreign Affairs Committee. The Prime Minister's Office leaves Stoltenberg to Kjell Magne Bondevik.
How long the Bondevik government will remain in office is unclear, but what is clear is that Bondevik has shown agility in connection with the election campaign and the negotiations that will probably make it possible for him to serve the entire period. For Bondevik, it clearly does not matter what kind of policy he pursues and with whom he pursues it – as long as he is prime minister. It is a long way from the Sentrums government's resignation due to the gas power issue to the Bondevik government's creation – thanks to Frp.
For the KrF, the Center government was not a more independent option than a Right-dominated government. Has turned out. And it has turned out that the road is not as long for Frp as Bondevik has clearly stated earlier, at the latest in the election campaign.
Meanwhile, the FRP has become the most important coalition party for the Bondevik government. Hagen's party has come into a special position vis-à-vis Bondevik's crew and, among other things, has been assigned the leader of the Finance Committee. The FRP's birth aid for Bondevik not only makes the party part of the Government's parliamentary basis – it is no less true that Hagen and Bondevik deny it – it also puts the FRP in a position of power no party outside the government has previously had. From Hagen's point of view, this is a breaking point for getting inside government offices. And nothing in Bondevik's behavior so far guarantees that Hagen will succeed.
Bondevik is naturally aware that Carl I. Hagen will not settle for a leadership position on the finance committee. The Labor Party has also signaled that it will be far more difficult to cooperate with the new government as it has become so close to the Green Party. Politics to the left of KrF, we will therefore probably see little of the next four years – as long as the government does not crack.
89 percent of Holmgang's "voters" felt on Wednesday that Frp should join the new government. Probably such a solution would now be a too sudden transition for Bondevik.
But also the crayfish get used to it.
