How deep is the crisis in the Liberal Party?

So profound that even an electoral result below the threshold will not create a crisis in the party.

“The left is perceived as indistinct, it lacks property and does not mobilize on the basis of the lines of conflict of Norwegian politics. “

No, it is not Sylvi Listhaug or Bjørnar Moxnes who are approaching the Liberal Party. The text is proper to the party, and is in the annual report that the Liberal Party hand shows this weekend at the Gardermoen national meeting.

This is an annual report that really shows how hard the left is fighting.

The sentence above is about the work of the national board to “create a clearer legacy
impression of the Liberal Party ». Or said in ordinary Norwegian: that when you think of the Liberal Party, one or another issue occurs to you that you know they are fighting for.

Today, I believe that most princes face internal strife and conflict when they think of the Liberal Party. Or more likely: that they hardly ever think about the Liberal Party.

This weekend, Guri Melby takes over from Trine Skei Grande as Liberal leader. That task is more than a twist.

According to the annual report Soon there will be no more mayors in the party’s network of mayors. Why? Yes, because now the party is reduced to two speakers. In local elections, the Liberal Party joined four new municipal councils, but fell from 47.

More than half of the country’s municipalities now lack Liberals on the municipal council, despite the fact that the number of small municipalities has been drastically reduced through municipal reform.

Last year, the party had revenue of NOK 18.7 million. Of these, almost ninety percent came from state aid. Or as it says in the submission to a new program of principles that the party will adopt this weekend:

“Voluntary organizations they must secure their own income opportunities. Public support schemes must support the freedom and independence of organizations and not contribute to bureaucratizing them. “

Fortunately, the Liberal Party has the right to adopt the size of its own state support in the state budget. As I have written before, the Liberal Party often takes that opportunity to adjust party support.

There are probably many organizations that wish they could print their own money that way.

In any case, it is not the militants who will finance the Liberal Party in the future, because there will be fewer and fewer. Several thousand members leave in a few years.

The party is over in 6390 members. For comparison: soon little Raudt is double in terms of membership.

Yes and so they are opinion polls. We have to go back almost two and a half years in time to find a month in which the Liberal Party was above the threshold of the polling median, according to Poll Polls.

If it doesn’t happen With somewhat drastic support, the Liberal Party parliamentary group is called “Guri Melby and Abid Raja” after next fall’s elections.

Guri Melby has an advantage when she now takes over as party leader. If the Liberal Party pushes below the threshold next fall and gets one or two MPs, there will be no popular demand in the party that Melby should resign.

People know that the problems in the party run much deeper than what Melby together with MPs Abid Raja and Sveinung Rotevatn will solve in less than a year.

For kva mio actually left? On the home page you can read about the game’s four heart problems. Besides “school”, “nature and environment” and “work and well-being”, you will find “on a par with the future”.

The game is presented as follows:

“We believe that together we can create good solutions for the future. The Liberal Party believes that future generations can be better than the ones we have today if we make the right decisions. That is why the Liberal Party is on par with the future.”

Do you agree? Ueinig? Do you understand what they mean here? Do you mind? In order for a party to become aware of a problem, it must acquire an opponent. It is difficult to create an acute conflict over profanity.

The left must get a more defined profile of the things that interest people.

On Saturday, Trine Skei Grande delivered her last speech as party leader at the national assembly. With that, one of Norway’s toughest and most interesting political leaders thanks you.

Som Big Often wins: Don’t vote for those politicians in shiny armor, because they have never been in battle.

Trine Skei Grande has taken her fight fix and proven herself to be a complete person, for better or for worse. All in all, it’s good for Norway.

We are about to have a generation of perfect politicians, but a bit imperial. It may be a sign of the times. But it is also a loss.

In his speech to the national assembly, Grande raised the problem of a party culture where people don’t always want to quarantine themselves.

For me who has As I work to speak to sources in different parties, it can sometimes be almost shocking to hear what liberals are saying about each other.

The task of making liberals a little more generous, yes, a little more liberal with each other, will be important for the new leadership.

In the speech, Grande also remembers the big and small battles during her ten years as party leader. She took office after the electoral defeat in 2009. As she said in the speech:

“Be be Honestly, it was a fucking cheap election night. ”

It may well be that a year from now Guri Melby will have to say the same about the start of his party leadership.

But the left Have you come back a bit?
