The electoral thriller begins in Norway


The Norwegians are now called to join the polls for the parliamentary elections, a still far-fought battle between the center-right coalition under Prime Minister Erna Solberg and the center-left opposition led by the Labor Party.
While Solberg Conservatives are announcing tax cuts in an effort to boost growth if they gain a new government term, Worker Labor Party chief Garry Steere talks about tax increases in order to better finance public services.
The outcome of the election may affect the Norwegian oil industry, as either Solberg or Garte Stere will most likely need the cooperation of one or more of the smaller parties who are demanding restrictions on its extraction from the Arctic seabed off of the northern Norwegian coast.
The first six and forecasts based on a sample of votes are due to be published around 22:00 (Greece time) and most votes will be counted in the next few hours, but if the race is judged on the thread the waiting may last until Tuesday night.
Suspicion increases the way seats are allocated on the basis of proportional representation in Norway, which gives impetus to parties that exceed the 4% threshold required to enter parliament.
