Strange, so strange. I would never vote for Red. V over AP? I doubt it.

I wouldn't vote KrF due to their social conservatism even if I agree with their economic positions. I really like both DNA and Venstre, but I'm not a fan of the participation of the kooky SV in government, so I'd probably vote Venstre in the hope that they don't eventually support a FrP government.

I'd never vote for the last three parties, btw, so that's why they're scratched out.

708.000 people have already voted early, which is up by 50% compared with 2005.

Final turnout was about 80% in 2005.

That article is junk. Firstly, I have little stock in that poll which is out of sync with most other polls. Though it seems like Red-Green will lose its majority.

But more importantly, all talk about a centre-right coalition is pure junk. A centre-right majority would include Progress, the Conservatives, KrF and the Liberals; which is quite impossible since the bourgeois parties don't get along. First, Progress doesn't want a new Bondevik-like government which they 'support without participation', and Jensen wants it. Second, both the base and the Politburo of the Liberals and KrF are opposed to having a Progress-led government and really, only the Conservatives seem atleast amenable to the idea. Now, a Conservative-Liberal-Christian government would work, but it will never have a majority as long as Progress is so strong.

The most likely outcome is a minority Labour government relying on centrists (Liberals and maybe Christians) for a majority in votes. So, instability ahoy.

My experince is that the polls are all over the place. Yesterdays NRK-poll gave a clear Red-Green majority while TV2's poll denied the government a majority. Given the highly regional electoral system, lots of surprices might happen tomorrow also.

So when will the results be coming in?

So when will the results be coming in?

The election ends at 9 pm CET - and the first exit polls right after - the final result will be in around 12 pm and the exact distribution of the mandates will probably first be certain tomorrow.

So not much progress for the "Progress" party then

Unless I've misread something.

Nope, but it's an exit poll - way to early to say anything definitive

Not results, exit poll from NRK - and it makes no sense to divide in that way
