"the red-green bloc' of parties including Stre's Labour, the Centre Party, the Greens, the Socialist Left (SV) and the Red party, have won the election with a projected 88 seats compared to 81 seats to the opposing right-leaning parties. The three smaller parties in the red-green group, the Greens, the Socialist Left and the Red party, are all currently projected to gain the 4 percent threshold share of the vote that's needed to enter parliament,"
"There are considerable differences in ideology between the four other parties in the red-green bloc, ranging from the far-left Red party through the socialist SV to the Greens, who want to phase Norwegian oil production by 2025 and the Centre Party, which has a rural, EU-skeptic outlook. Stre has led a single-party minority government for the final months of his current term, but it started out with a coalition before the Centre Party left over a dispute on EU energy directives."
With 94 percent of votes counted, the red-green bloc including Labour, Centre, Greens, Socialist Left (SV) and Red is projected at 88 seats versus 81 for right-leaning parties. The Greens, SV and Red are projected to pass the 4 percent threshold needed for parliamentary entry, crucial to the bloc’s majority. Stre will require support from all four parties to secure an overall majority. These parties have substantial ideological differences, from far-left to oil-phaseout Greens and rural, EU-skeptic Centre. Another minority government appears likely, and Stre must assemble a platform acceptable to all partners, requiring compromise and potentially protracted negotiations.
