Who the hell votes for parties who DON’T want to “…increase renewable energy and encourage more energy-efficient infrastructure construction…” ?!
Nah. We prefer less energy efficiency and more polluting practices. Vote for us!

Don’t think it matters that much right now, but it is a bit interesting.
According to polls, Conservatives+Progress will get a majority in the election in september (if nothing major happens). The only question is if they need one extra small party for majority, and if Progress can actually land the Prime Minister role. And Conservatives and Progress disagree about EU, so I’m not sure those negotiations will be easy either.
Labour has proven they have some semblance of a backbone, but also shown that they can’t keep a stable government as things are now. Ratings are at an all time low. They will have a hard time getting anything done being in a minority.
The Centre Party are back to being opposition, and can argue and promise freely again. Probably not enough to bring back all the people who fled. They collapsed while being in the government.

Germany’s insanity is not only damaging its economy, but also sabotaging European integration.

Maybe EU shouldn’t have threatened us to implement policies which are bad for us. The perception we have of eu has never been worse

Norway should not compensate for Germanys de-industrialization project.

Norway makes a ton of money by selling electricity. So it’s wrong to say that Norway would be paying the price, they make a lot of money by selling electricity.
But I understand the problem. It is that profits from selling energy goes to energy companies, while average guy mainly sees higher electricity bill. So even if the whole thing it is (and is most likely is), net beneficial economically, it is not for average person.
And this is probably the thing where the public discussion in Norway mostly is. Its idea that is simple and affects everyone.
Altough I’m not quite sure how linked this “EU’s fourth clean energy package” is to that. I read the NRK’s and Politico’s articles, but they didn’t specify at all what this is actually about.

“Their exit leaves Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre’s center-left Labour Party to govern on its own for the first time in 25 years.”
Oh no that would be terrible.

I agree with norway here. As much as I want further european integration, it shouldn’t come at the expense of its citizens. Energy in particular is one of those things you don’t want to mess with, it can easily derail an entire country.
Next government please.

Saying that it’s collapsed is a gross exaggeration. One of the two parties that were in government left over a disagreement on electrical prices caused by Norway selling power to the EU (which in turn has lead to higher electrical prices here).
Nothing could make a government in our chill little country “collapse”.
