Re: Greece and the German elections II: (none / 1)
Actually, the far right lost seats, though they are expected to become part of the government as the conservatives and the liberals gained enough to tip the balance to the right. If anything Breivik broke a long upwards trend for the far right, benefitting the right.

Stoltenberg had been PM since 2005 and my general impression is that this election had less to do with what the opposition offered and more with a general wish for change. But I am no expert on Norwegian politics.
