Ahead of September’s election, cracks in support for Norway’s centre-left coalition are beginning to show.

In September, Norwegians will head to the polls in a vote that on current polling, is likely to be won by a re-branded centre-right party at the expense of the long-dominant Labour party and its two coalition partners. Sten Inge Jørgensen writes that concern among Labour voters and undecideds at the increasingly populist and protectionist policies of its junior coalition partners has been a major cause of this decline in support.
