Agder, with most delegates from all the county parties at the special meeting next week, will vote with 18 voters out of 18 delegates.

The final census shows that Agder KrF will send 13 delegates who will support cooperation with the current government at the Extraordinary General Assembly.

Five delegates support Hareide, who will cooperate with the Labor Party.

But it took a long time for the county party to achieve this result. Of the 18 delegates, five delegates – 28% – voted for the option of MP Hans Fredrik Grøvan to remain in opposition. Then they had In choosing a page, there was intense struggle for the delegates.

For the proposal of the nominating committee, three of the five supported a Labor Party. Only two supported cooperation with the government of today

This meant that several civil society delegates had tried to replace the delegates who wanted to oppose it, but that they would vote for the Ap if the party were to sit in the government.

– Can live with that

This was partly successful. In the end, there was one red delegate and four blues, who would like the KrF to remain in opposition.

"We can say goodbye when we have one of the yellows, we will not plant this, that's about all we expected, maybe even better," says Øystein Krogstad, member of the KrF, once the results are clear.

It was expected that the desire of party leader Knut Arild Hareide to overthrow the current government and collaborate with the Labor Party does not receive significant support from one of the largest forces in the world. coalition of the country.

But when the party had to decide which delegates to send to the National Assembly, the leader of the party won a small victory.

111 voted for proportional elections. 54 voted for a majority vote. Ti voted in white.

Hareide: – Calculated with blue majority

"I think it's great that there are proportional elections, it's so important because when we make a choice on November 2, we can say that's our choice." some of us may have won and others lost, but we all continue, which gives legitimacy to Agder's decision, "said Hareide.

– A little win for you tonight?

"It was not a win for me, but a victory for KrF," said the party leader.

Hareide was not under any illusions of having convinced the majority of KrF Agder to go to government with Ap.

"There is probably a blue majority, but it is important that those who support me in southern Norway be heard at the national meeting," he told NRK.

A little later in the evening, Hareide writes the following in a text message addressed to NRK about the result:

– Calculated with a blue majority in Agder. Happy the support I received from 25% of delegates.

– About respect

Several members spoke for a majority vote, which means that the winner would have received all delegates at the national meeting.

But KrF MP Kjell Ingolf Ropstad warned against this and was heard by the majority at Agder KrF.

"It is extremely important to go together after November 2. There must be an ambition for everyone sitting here to think that it is acceptable to lose the elections, but my vote will take place at the national meeting, said MP Kjell Ingolf Ropstad, president.

– It's a matter of respect. He must be respectful of all opinions. It would be embarrassing to be KrF if it became such. Here, all opinions must be represented, said Øystein Krogstad, a member of the KrF.

Regulation with Listhaug

When the party leader, Hareide, went to the conference to explain why he would work with the Labor Party, he made a solid agreement with Sylvi Listhaug's attitudes.

"I think and you should listen to what happened this week." When the party MP was in the political district yesterday and said that her statement was linked to terrorism, she spoke of a terrorist action against the Labor Party. because she was in Parliament and had tried to complain four times, never really, said Hareide.

– Are we going to create an incorrect print type? Is this what we want? Hareide asked.

Ropstad about SV: – A big risk

Hans Fredrik Grøvan, House Leader, and Kjell Ingolf Ropstad, Vice-President, warned the President against SV.

– What happens if the main requirement of OAS for budget negotiation is to remove cash support? What are we doing then? We have the opportunity to turn to a government that has had a significant impact over the last five years, "said Ropstad.

"There will be a majority government with a prime minister who speaks as if she is CF in the most important cases, or we have the opportunity to give the tipping power of SV that we have today. a big risk and will drive politics to the far left, "said Ropstad.

Inspired by Hareide's speech

Karin Lilletun Langeland and Even Øgrey Brandsdal are two of the participants at the extraordinary annual meeting of the evening.

Both were absorbed in Knut Arild Hareide's speech on how the KrF Fund was chosen. But the same message meant two different things for them.

After the KrF leader's speech in September, Karin Lilletun Langeland decided to embark on politics.

– The rhetoric of the user Frp creates a distance and an externality. I do not want KrF to participate. We will talk about "us" instead of "them and us," says Karin Lilletun Langeland.

For Jon Lilletun's daughter, KrF politician, deceased, it was far from engaging.

– Too narrow a group must define what the party should be. I had trouble identifying with what the group was responsible. I am a committed person and I strongly believe in local democracy. Now, I would like to change the KrF in the right direction and look to the left.

She does not doubt what the father would like to say.

"As I knew him, he would have had big problems working with the Progress Party.

Want Solberg

Even Øgrey Brandsdal joined a political party for the first time. The former director of the football club Start wants to preserve the current government.

"I want to be with KrF, but I want them to continue developing with the government sitting down.

Brandsdal thinks that KrF will have a stronger stance in Norwegian politics if it goes against the right.

"Phaneracs are an inviolable value for humans and help preserve the Christian cultural heritage of our society.I think it is easier to get good cooperation.

"I think it's important that those who vote vote in their belief that those who represent at the country meeting really represent democracy.
