An analysis by the newspaper shows that FrP has lost 84,000 voters over the past year, and 43,000 of them have turned to the Conservative Party (Høyre). 12,000 have left for the Agrarian Party (Senterpartiet) and 7,000 for the Christian Democrats (KrF).
- If this tendency continues, the results of the upcoming municipal elections may in fact be even less positive for the Progress Party than the most recent polls have shown, says professor of political science and political analyst, Frank Aarebrot.
