Every fourth Norwegian would vote for the Progress Party, which has begun to take an increasingly nationalist position to the right of the classical bourgeois major party Høyre.

Høyre, on the other hand, receives just over 21 percent of the votes in the measurement, which the Opinion institute has conducted on behalf of ABC News and Altinget.

When the power distribution in the parliament is calculated based on this, the Progress Party and Høyre gain a clear majority – 86 out of a total of 169 seats.

Our goal is a Progress Party and Høyre government. We can sit down and talk to more, but in that case, to bring about a Høyre and Progress Party government, says the Progress Party leader Sylvi Listhaug to Altinget.

The Social Democratic and governing Labour Party receives around 18 percent support, after a longer period of decline in the measurements. It has been governing in a minority together with the smaller centrist party Centre Party since the 2021 election.

The next parliamentary election is to be held in September.
