Finally a party that wants the Good. I have longed for such a party, I wrote yesterday in an ironic comment on Facebook.
By then, news had just emerged that attorney Geir Lippestad and Kjell Magne Bondevik’s son John Harald had headed a new party called Sentrum.
And to stick to the irony, I would immediately suggest that the party change its name. City center it is too boring and obviously lacking in direction. The party should be called a good party (PDG) or good party (DGP).
READ THE CASE: Geir Lippestad and former KrF members start a new party
Because I have seldom read a more detailed stack of good intentions. The party opposes poverty, the climate crisis, injustice and exclusion, we understand. And a corresponding advocate for sustainability, equality, biodiversity, and building bridges between people.
That no party has thought of this before!
Sure, now I’m a little ugly. But I will dare to be a little uglier. before It is not impossible suspect that the new party actually has a different and slightly sharper political opinion, or purposeor why – as it is often called today:
That is to say, keep two center parties, in particular KrF, below the threshold of four percent, so that the bourgeois government is not re-elected.
In other words:
The new group may well be thought of as a direct and well-aimed torpedo against Erna.
As we all know, the Popular Christian Party has struggled in opinion polls lately, with just 3.7 percent support for the latest poll average. Although we have already somewhat forgotten about the deep divide between the Hareide wing and the Ropstad wing in 2018 (as both are in government), it is not true that the gap has disappeared.
As a well-known and reputable ABB advocate, Geir Lippestad earned a solid name with the Norwegian public. It is not at all impossible that he, along with someone named Bondevik (no matter what his first name is), will manage to gather enough red-green KrF votes for the majority of the current government to resign.
In the last elections, Erna and the rest of the bourgeois coalition barely managed to land, precisely because many voted tactically.

Now we do not know what countermeasures KrF can implement, but with a new party the headwind will be stronger. When we also take into account that many chronically disloyal liberals may be thought to vote for Lippestad as well, it is by no means impossible for the new party to succeed in its actual mission:
Torpedo Erna, thus paving the way for Jonas Gahr Støre (Labor Party) and a broad alliance on the red-green side.
The fact that Geir Lippestad has just resigned from the Labor Party does not exactly preclude such a theory. And with a possible red-green win next year, anything can happen:
So it’s even conceivable that KrF will switch sides again (it’s so good to be in government).
Thus, the Party of Good – sorry Center – has fulfilled its mission and can be closed.
