Does anyone know why the government is unpopular? Just because it's the government...?
governments in norway tend to become unpopular really fast.
also this government had to deal with a 50% reduction in oil prices. This is pretty bad for a cpuntry that gets a lot of income from oil exports, so economic angst tends to empower the opposition no matter the party ideology. Tories benefitted from labour having to deal with the GFC. and democrats benefitted from the republicans having to deal with the GFC.
