Why Norway is Shifting Right

Let's take a look at the recent chaos in Norway, why the current government is so unpopular, and why public opinion is shifting to the right.

Why "insert country" is shifting to the right:

Migrants

insider trading is not a sign of "weak leadership"
it is a sign that leadership is strongly corrupt

Norwegian here. Altough I like Støre, his government is absolutely useless. Currently we have:
- Weak Krone (11kr to the Dollar. In 2014 it was 6kr.)
- Record High Electricity Prices (Not only Labours fault though).
- A Cabinet Filled With Corrupt Politicans & Clowns

Then there are also the issues found in every Western European country I guess:
- Rising Costs
- Immigration
- Wasteful Government Spending

"Why young people are voting for right wing populists is not fully understood": you really don't want to mention immigration, don't you?

Our PM suffers from being what we Norwegians call a Tåkefyrste. He is unclear, refuses to take the hard calls cause he is terrified to dissapoint, and speaks almost like in riddles to sound impressive.

Some quick add-ons to the current situation:
-A major reason for Støre's unpopularity is that people feel he just doesn't do anything about current issues in Norway, such as soaring electricity prices, fighting inflation, and higher rents, he just kinda sits around and tries waiting for things to fix itself.
-People generally poll more radically because both Progress Party and the left wing parties are anti-EU membership, while the two main parties have been promoting the idea of further EU integration, as well as the fact they aggressively campaign on measures they want to take to help with current issues
-Erna Solberg's scandal didn't really affect Høyre's polling very much and is generally a popular politician. People blame her husband more cause he's the one who did invest in stocks against the recommendations of the Prime Minister's Office (SMK)
-Under the election campaign, Støre was riding the wave that they cared more for climate change than the current government, then proceeded to cut national emissions by 0.1% in one year

"electrification of oil rigs" made me spit out my coffee hahaha

[MattiasNilsson]

Trying to pretend that too much immigration isn’t one of the reasons why Norwegians are shifting right is hilarious and downright devious

I'm Norwegian and I have to say, your pronunciation of Norwegian words aren't that bad. I appreciate that. 🙂

[nor-wayking]

No mention of the fact that most norwegians don't like EU?

[alexseguin]

What I've learned from this video is that there is no Viking party in Norway. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

06:30 "why young people are voting for right wing populists is not fully understood etc etc"
i do not see any effort in that sentence

[norwayspotter]

Every Norwegian politics video: Exists

Every Norwegian: Finally I can comment my insights and knowledge about this topic because we are relevant in global politics!

Can you not lower the jingle volume?
Volume is unbalanced

[JackoBanon]

I wish we in Germany had problems like that. In Hamburgs streets Muslim immigrants in the 10 thousands openly went to the streets and demonstrated to transfer Germany to a Caliphate. Glad to see that some countries still have to deal with older problems.

Wow Norway, actually holds people in power accountable who commit insider trading unlike America.

Seems almost every few months that I see "[European Country] is shifting Right"

[Salt_Lover]

Northen norwegian here (tromsø), immigration is also a huge issue up here, lack of funds for proper homes, renovation of old buildings (most apartments are still from the 50-60s) and a severe lack of housing space. just in 3 years i have had to move 3 times due to this, and nothing is being done with this. Even the people who has been tasked of finding housing for immigrants struggle a lot, and dont see why we have such poor funding.

As a swedish young man i can tell you why, WE STILL WANT A COUNTRY WHEN WE ARE OLD, its not really a hard concept to understand.
