The share of votes won by the Labour Party in Norway fell every election since 2009. Despite this, they were able to form a minority coalition government together with a strongly improved Centre Party after the election in 2021, seeking majorities in the parliament with the Socialist Left Party. Moreover, whereas the Red Party crossed the electoral threshold of four percent for the first time in its history, the Christian Party fell below it for the first time since 1945.
