Talk:Red–green coalition (Norway)

I read somewhere that the Labour party did form a coalition government after the second World War.--ZorroIII 19:20, 14 September 2005 (UTC)


 * As a matter of fact, they did. In May 1945, the government returned from exile, and Prime Minister Johan Nygaardsvold resigned, effective from June 25th. The first general election was held on October 8th that year. In the interim, Einar Gerhardsen (Labour) formed a coalition consisting of Labour, Conservatives, Liberals, the norwegian communist party, Bondepartiet (Now: the centre party) and the Home Front party.


 * On November 5th 1945, after the general election, Gerhardsen formed his second government (Labour). --Brusdal 21:27, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Name of coalition
So what is the orgin of this label? Specifically, where is the "Green"? 211.72.233.2 19:16, 18 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Well, your guess is as good as mine. I can only presume it must be referring to the colour of the centre party logo. Charliez 10:39, 19 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Confirm, it's the Centre party (I'm from Norway). There is no strong "green" party in Norway, though green issues are indeed kept in high consideration (governments have fallen on environmental issues). Probably, SV is actually more environmentalist than the Centre party, which is just a renaming of the former Farmers' party. In the government, the Liberals used to have a somewhat environmentalist profile, but that has been discarded long time ago (even if they do try to revive it during elections). --Orzetto 10:11, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Not a party
It is not really correct to put this article under political parties, as it is a COALITION of parties, not A political party. Oddeivind 22:10, 28 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree. I am deleting the categorisation. --Barend 14:46, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

why only Norway? Germany (and others) also had/have Red-Green Coalitions
it's not a Norway-specific term134.3.76.108 (talk) 11:43, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
