– You don’t need to love those you are going to work with. There are a lot of things in the Center Party that we don’t like, SV deputy leader Torgeir Knag Fylkesnes tells Dagbladet.
You have just read the Center Party’s proposal for a new program of principles and actions, which was presented on Thursday.
The Center Party now, among other things, will go to the polls so that the mergers are decided in the 2013-2021 period, if the municipalities or regions so wish. The party will also reduce the corporation tax in the districts, have a local tax on wind power and introduce VAT cuts on tourism.
Afraid of water
Fylkesnes says that the program contains “a lot of good, a lot that SV agrees with”, but he still sees problems:
– The downtown party is surprisingly unspecific. how they must reverse centralization. And it still seems that district politics in the Center Party come to a halt long before the pier. There at SV we will probably have to help them on their way, he says.
– Is the Center Party a little afraid of water?
– Yes, it seems so. They are not very specific about coastal and fisheries policy. In SV, the problem is the opposite: we can hardly limit ourselves when we make new policies for the coast, says the politician drum.
Collaborative curl
The SP is making great progress and in some polls it is challenging the Labor Party’s place as the largest party on the left.
In the latest Dagbladet survey, Sp is almost twice as large as SV. During the last red-green government, the two parties were the same size. And the weight of meat controls politics: SP mainly wants a government with the Labor Party alone, where the former partner in government SV will be standing in the hall.
– We take it with overwhelming calm. SV believes that the balance of power after next year’s elections will control who ends up in government. Now, a year before the elections, we must not close the doors to anyone, says Fylkesnes.
Collisions
The new SP program is on a collision course with SV at various points, including around buildings in the beach area, where Sp wants differentiated regulations according to region and region.
– SV is very skeptical about building in the beach area where it is not natural to do so, says Fylkesnes.
In the draft program for Spain, the climate is also mentioned as “the greatest challenge of our time.” Fylkesnes struggles to see that Sp actually lives up to this.
– It has long surprised me that a party so linked to agriculture, to such a small extent, takes climate change seriously, he says about Sp.
– The oil policy of the Center Party shows that they do not understand seriousness. When their industrial policy has so much to do with the preservation of the oil and gas industry, they have misunderstood. What we need is to make sure that the experience carries over to new industrial adventures.
The prime minister’s job
Sp’s tremendous progress, combined with weak Labor polls, also raises questions about the prime minister post after next year’s elections. Trygve Slagsvold Vedum, not Jonas Gahr Støre, may be Erna Solberg’s successor?
Marit Arnstad, who presented the new program of principles and actions, does not want to distribute the position of head of state now.
– I focus on politics, then we can have discussions about games, positions and tactics eventually, he tells Dagbladet.
– We have a lot of time for these discussions, he adds.
Støre: – You look at it
Labor leader Jonas Gahr Støre is more clearly screwed:
– I am a candidate for Prime Minister of the Labor Party. We will be the biggest party, says Støre.
– Don’t the voters deserve a clarification on who will be prime minister if the left wins the elections?
– Yes, you’re looking at it now, says Støre to the Dagbladet reporter.
The catastrophe measurement of 18.4 was followed by a cautious one: The Labor Party received 22.5 percent support for the FriFagbevegelse poll.
– I should have rebuked Solberg’s Nazi statement.
Good humor
It’s still not good enough, according to Støre.
– No, it’s not good enough. But I’ve been with him long enough for the mood to be used in moments when it hurts. I am a person with strength and courage. I believe in the project of the Labor Party. I’ve had bad measurements before and have managed to get up.
– You must be in a good mood since 2013, right?
– No, but this is a challenge for us. There is an even majority in favor of change. I believe that the new course will be reinforced by a stronger Labor Party, says Støre.
Bøhler Street
Last week, Labor veteran Jan Bøhler announced his transfer to the Center Party. Støre says that’s one reason for the weak Labor polls.
– The numbers vary. A month ago, the Labor Party was almost twice that of the Center Party. I think we are taller than this measure. We have had a week behind us that has been everything except politics. Now we have a program proposal in the organization, a great motivation for it. That’s where I am. We go up from there. Last week we had two weeks that diverted attention from politics, now we have to regain attention.
– So you think about the new party Sentrum and Jan Bøhler?
– Yes, answers Støre.
