[collaboration] Monday's election results should increase the potential for new political cooperation solutions: as coalitions across traditional blocs.
The Progress Party's ever-increasing demands for governing power are now pushing for a clearer stance among the other parties locally. Until now, it has been irrelevant for both the Conservatives, the Labor Party and the center parties to sit in government with the FRP. But the tendency is that the FRP prepares the ground by gaining city council power or the mayors of the big cities – as in Oslo, even though the party there went back.
The goal is government power from 2009, preferably with the Right and with support from the KrF and the Left. Oslo has had this constellation of power in the city council since 2003. The KrF's and the Left's no to city council cooperation with Frp has, paradoxically, thus given the party even more power.
On Tuesday, the Conservatives and the Labor Party were included. in Kristiansand a grand coalition with support from the Liberal Party – later possibly also SV and Sp. The Conservatives have a clear majority with Frp and KrF, but prefer Labor. In Stavanger, the Conservatives and the Labor Party have also collaborated.
But in Bergen and Oslo, the exhibition windows for government alternatives, Frp demands and gets more and more. Hardly any Left voters have Frp as their second choice. The two parties are arch enemies of the environment and the multicultural. Nevertheless, the Left now helps its value proponents to power, instead of seeking solutions with Ap and SV.
Sp has in recent years increased its cooperation with the left. The same could be done by the Left to block the Frp common enemy out. Norwegian politics should go from a value collision to a large coalition
