Norway has a parliamentary election in less than 4 months, and the entire landscape has shifted from right to left in the last few months. For now it looks like the Labour-led government will get a new term.
This poll compares to last election in 2021, which elected a coalition of AP+SP.
AP: Labour
FRP: Progress (furthest right wing)
H: Conservatives
SV: Socialists
SP: Centre
R: Red (furthest left wing)
V: Liberals
KRF: Christian Conservatives
MDG: Greens

The left bloc consists of AP+SV+SP+R+MDG
The right bloc consists of FRP+H+V+KRF
There is a cut-off of 4% for a chunk of the parliament seats that is distributed by a different method and tends to give a chunk of extra seats to small parties. Below 4% tends to award 0-2 seats, and above tends to add 4-5 extra just from the start.
I'm glad to see KRF staying well below. They have become quite Trumpian lately. FRP is even more problematic, with worrying gains.
