The Norwegian parliament elections are on 11. September. The parliament has 169 seats. The incumbent government is a minority coalition consisting of Høyre (The Right) and Fremskrittspariet (The Progress Party) which occupy the spaces on the right and far right, respectively, in the parliament. This minority coalition is supported by two smaller parties, Kristelig Folkeparti (The Christian People's Party, which is a Christan democratic party) and Venstre (The Left, which is a socially liberal, fiscally more moderate party) through a formal agreement which gives the government a parliament majority whenever they can all agree.
The main opposition party is Arbeiderpartiet (The Workers' Party, which is the labour party). Other parties in parliament are: SV (the socialist left), MDG (the greens), SP (the farmers' party). There's also the Communists party (Rødt) which is not unlikely to get one of the parliament seats, and several others which probably won't get enough votes for a seat.
Recent polls were bad news for the opposition, with the labour party losing support.
