If Hareide wants to switch sides, he has the support of many in the Democratic Party leadership – Aftenposten

If the leader trio in KrF wants to switch sides and open to cooperation with Labor in 2017, it will gain the support of many in KrF new central board.

Christian Democrat congress chose the weekend a central board which many are open to change partners after the next parliamentary elections.

Newly elected central board member Geirmund Lykke believes cooperation with FRP so far has been an “eye-opener” for them in the party who thought it would be okay to cooperate with Siv Jensen and Per Sandberg party.

Test: To what extent do you agree with KrF?

– Recognizing seeping into

– The recognition that the distance to the FRP is significantly important issues for us, sags more and more, says Lykke, who in 2013 struggled to get a part of the party with a partnership decision that blocked to sit in government with FRP.

Now, he talks about a shift in sentiment – a clear shift in the party away from the FRP and more towards Ap.

Dødfødt with a new agreement with FRP and Right

– What I warned, built on the fear of the policies we have seen, he says, and says that “a collaboration with Labor absolutely must be on table “as an option after the elections in 2017.

If KrF leader Knut Arild Hareide and assistant managers Dagrun Eriksen and Olaug Bollestad wants to seek cooperation from the left, there are several central executive committee members than luck that will probably support them in it.

– If the situation in 2017 is the way it is today, it is completely stillborn for KrF with a new cooperation agreement with the Conservatives and the Progress Party, says Svein O. Iversen, newly elected central director of Finnmark.

– More Ap purely political

– I stand enough basically closer to Labor than the Conservatives politically, says Hilde Ekeberg, and states that it is the economic policy that is decisive. She urges the party to think carefully before party concludes about future partners.

– We see how challenging the current cooperation, but we must not be blind to that there may be major challenges with Labor at large field, she said.

Experiencing the distance to the FRP as big

Also KrFU leader and central director Emil André Erstad can be placed among those who are considering cooperation with Labor. He notes that Labor under Jonas Gahr Støre’s leadership is moving toward the center.

– At the same time FRP out the worst in the Conservative Party, says Erstad who says he is now experiencing the distance to the FRP as great.

Silent

Not all of the central board wants to be interviewed about exactly this now. Selects trio chose to remain silent on this issue now.

It also makes central director Elisbeth Løland. Therefore it is difficult to say exactly where the majority is.

released in 2017

Newly elected central director Dag Sele says it “is far from obvious” that the Christian Democrats in 2017 will go to the choice of to continue cooperation with the Conservatives and the Progress Party.

– We will in 2017 be a floating party. I note that it is interesting signals from Labor, but will await and see if the words are translated into practical politics, he said.

– Heller against Ap

Svein O. Iversen points the Christian Democratic Party in the three northernmost counties are cooperating well with the Labor and Sp.

– What do you choose in 2017, if the situation is like today – Right or Ap?

– When I pour enough against Labor, he says, but emphasizes that he is talking about a Labor standing together with Q, and that SV is excluded.

– Much in common with Ap

Mariam Rapp, head of the Christian Democratic Party Women’s county executive in Troms cooperation long ia Ap. She says KrF has much in common with Labor on welfare policy.

She notes that the women’s movement has said clearly the basis that it disagrees with the tax and distribution policy as right parties stand for, and that they have protested clearly against changes in the Working Environment Act.

– I do not exclude that we can go both left and right, says Rapp.

– Democratic process forward towards 2017

Deputy Dagrun Eriksen, who has led the Congress while Knut Arild Hareide has been home with heavily pregnant spouse, says the party will now have a process of cooperation towards the next election, and that management should not override it.

– That it is political preferences, a centrist, about which direction to cooperate is quite legitimate, she said.

Eriksen led the Christian Democrat Strategy Committee, as in the previous period concluded that KrF can cooperate both left and right, while SV and FRP are excluded. Former Democratic Party-Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik told Aftenposten on Saturday that the contents of the report can quickly become topical again in 2017.

– Do you agree that, Eriksen?

– It will probably be relevant, but it will have to be updated. Remember that it was written in a “Red-Green situation.” But the update we must wait until 2017. No one here will break the cooperation agreement with the government parties.
