Politics Politics of Norway takes place in a framework of a parliamentary representative democratic constitutional monarchy. Executive power is exercised by the King and his council, the cabinet, led by the Prime Minister of Norway. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the Storting, elected within a multi-party system. The Judiciary is independent of the executive branch and the legislature. Main Office Holders King Harald V January 17, 1991  Crown Prince Haakon Magnus  Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg DNA October 17, 2005  Other government Parties Socialist Left Party (SV),Centre Party October 17, 2005 Legislative Branch Norway has a modified unicameral Parliament, the Storting ("Great Council"), with members elected by popular vote for a four year term (during which it may not be dissolved) by proportional representation in multi-seat constituencies. Suffrage is obtained by 18 years of age; voting rights are granted in the same year as one's 18th birthday. The Storting, currently has 169 members (increased from 165, effective from the elections of 12 September 2005). The members are elected from the 19 counties for 4-year terms according to a system of proportional representation. The Storting divides itself into two chambers, the Odelsting and the Lagting for the sole purpose of voting on legislation. Laws are proposed by the government through a Member of the Council of State or by a member of the Odelsting and decided on by the Odelsting and Lagting, in case of repeated disagreement by the joint Storting. In modern times, the Lagting rarely disagrees and mainly just rubber-stamps the Odelsting's decision. In addition, it is considered a unicameral parliament. In February 2007, the Storting passed a constitutional amendment to repeal the division, which abolishes the Lagting for the 2009 general election. |
