A year for the history books

Not like other realityshows

In the garden stood chairs with a metre distance, the familiar table with white tablecloths and strawberries were gone and we were asked to stay on the chairs without having to mingle. At its semi-annual summary Friday was Erna Solberg himself equal to: a Factual and framoverlent. As usual she asked with a skryteliste of what the government has delivered. But the season has been anything but ordinary. The prime minister began to kondolere all those who have lost someone to Covid-19.

Finally, the answer key at the consequences of the decisions that Solberg has taken and will take during the pandemic will get us first, later on, when we can look back at the closed boundaries and a face mask on the fly which remove memories. In this situation, all heads of state took important decisions on unclear grounds and with a potentially fatal outcome. The prime minister has handled the crisis in a way that invites to the respect.

The deadly hatred Comment

This is not the only Erna Solberg is going to remember from this season. She said to the Newspaper Friday that she didn't write the diary entries. There, I hope she starts with. When she started writing her memoirs, deserves it more than one chapter.

Frp marched out by the government in January. Officially because Norway took home the one woman with children from Syria, but with a rhetoric that testified that they anyway wanted out of the "prison", so the deputy Sylvi Listhaug formulated it. Also party leader Siv Jensen slamret with the door, when she said that the government had been "grey and boring".

For Erna Solberg was it the dream that is decayed, her big project to collect all the four parties on the civil side. For the Christian democratic Party has the consequence has been that the dream of everything they thought they would get to in the government has crumbled away.

Open for conspiracy theories Comment

While the Left and the Right in the over betting each other in the new promises not to sit in government with each other, insist still Right to rule at Granavolden platform and pandering to the political Right in all questions. Why did it take so long before the government came to a stusslig settlement to maybe pick up some children from Moria, and not before Left Sector had decided to set its own proposals in Parliament. Solberg did it at the press conference Friday crystal clear that she at any time would been.

Frp pandering not to the some . In opposition, they have sought majority with the Labour party and caused the government a number of large losses. In February went to the progress party along with other opposition parties against the government's message about Norway's role and interests in international cooperation. During the corona-crisis, has the political Right has been on a sharp clampdown on fullmaktsloven and just as powerful extensions of all krisepakker.

In Norway's interest Comment

They have sent back Langtidsplanen for the Defense of the government and said that it simply is not good enough to be treated in Parliament. Inflicted This crushing defeat about bioteknologiloven. Gone against Domstolreformen. Made so much noise about rovdyrpolitikken that the government eventually went to the Labour party for the majority. And in energy policy has Politically separated from the government both on the wind power, utenlandskabler and in oljeskatten.

This is not the object, but large heavy items that are important both for the government and for the opposition. For the Frp this helps to clarify the party's policy and create credibility. But these constellations were can't last forever. They are suitable for stortingsregjereri, but not an alternative regjeringsprosjekt. It knows both Siv Jensen and Erna Solberg, the road to power goes via each other for both of them. How the civil partnership will see the out come is a kind of gordisk knot that must be redeemed at the election.

The biggest politiskandale Comment

the Government is far away the majority on the polls. But the Labor party is so low on the measurements that Right now is the country's largest party. Ap is seen not as the main opposition party on some of the issues that are most important to the voters, funny enough in a crisis with record-high unemployment.

The high level of support around the Right and Erna Solberg as prime minister is a familiar pattern, but no guarantee. What I previously called "Landsmoder-effect" depends on the fact that crisis management is good and that the government continues to make decisions that create confidence in the population. Sofavelgere and vippevelgere is faithless. Nevertheless, it seems that the prime minister handles the situation in a way that can make them loyal in the long term, so that the effect is long lasting. This season could be crucial
