Norway’s red-green government did win the elections on Monday, winning 86 seats to the oppositions 83 seats. Venstre fell out of the parliament and KrF, together with Senterpartiet stayed somewhere around the six present of votes.
The results indicated Norway would continue to buck a trend that has seen center-right blocs take power in its Nordic neighbors Sweden, Denmark and Finland.
But the challenges are ahead for the new government – Lofoten/Vesterålen, health care, immigration – Jens Stoltenberg has a lot to prove in the forthcoming four years!
