It was not much new in Erna’s presentation of the government’s platform in the Parliament today. Partly because it is mostly known policies from the previous regjeringsplattformer, and partly because the press coverage of the content has been great since the consensus was the country for nearly two weeks ago.
The stole the attention, were The interior designers. The expansion of government has led to two new statsrådsposter. Thus, it has been cramped for space when all of them are going to meet in the Parliament. Parliament has had to overmøblere. The have come a two-seater, even though it was fully in the living room from before. The location is also not lucky.
Right in front of the partilederne from the Left and Progress, Trine Skei Grande and Olaug Bollestad (acting) , was placed two new seats for Erna Solberg and Siv Jensen.
parliamentary assembly room is designed with tilt up benchuca, so that all the representatives to see and be seen. With the latest interiørgrepet are the leaders for the Progress and the Left are actually the only ones who are put in the shade.
It is easy for the opposition to make jokes about this, for it is a little too telling picture of the relative strength in the government. The progress and the Left look like they are sitting in the back seat. They could use a couple of child seats.
Erna Solberg did not use a long time to read up the review of the new regjeringserklæringen. There is a lot of known substance, changes with the Progress in government does not make a large imprint. Abortlov, biotechnology, familiereform and a little distriktspolitikk are topics that Erna Solberg was quickly dropped in the course of the speech.
It stresses that it will be difficult for Progress to show up in the new government. The same applies to the Left. The impression is limited. Right and the progress party has a clear leadership role in the collaboration. The left Sector is at a critical level of support at the polls, and will have to fight to make their victories in the government. At the same time, internally within both parties be fear of falling under the threshold at the next general election in 2021. It creates fertile ground for conflicts, disagreements about priorities and perhaps also retningsvalg.
In addition the political distance between the parties that now sit together in government, great, we got demonstrated in practical policy already a week ago. Then went Right out with a proposal, in connection with a meeting in the Drammen Frp, to set requirements for income to qualify for financial support. And even more startling: the Left leader and the Culture – and equality minister Trine Skei Grande said that the changes in the abortloven to be perceived as a pause, until the election in 2021. The same thought she applies for egg donation.
make up the three strategic main challenges for this government: the Need for visibility for småpartiene, internal political distance in the government – and an opposition that will get more opportunities to hit the government hard, without having to try to please the christian democratic party has to win a majority in individual cases.
Erna Tomorrow the crew will have to work hard to create enthusiasm around regjeringsprosjektet – and, not least, a holistic alternative for voters when they go to options in 2021. The progress and the Left need to figure out how to deal with skyggeposisjonen they are put in, at the back of the car. For it is hardly so that partilederne to switch on to run.
