Arbeiderpartiet

Placement: Center-left

The Labour Party, the social-democratic party of Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre: in government since 2021, since 2025 it has led a single-party minority government and was confirmed as the largest party in the September 2025 election. Universal welfare, a wealth tax, industry and oil, a major increase in defense spending, and strong support for Ukraine.

In short

On the traditional scale, Arbeiderpartiet sits in the center-left camp. The clearest positions are on foreign policy: strongly towards “interventionism”; method: strongly towards “reform”; society: fairly towards “progress”; religion: fairly towards “secularism”. On state, environment and devolution it stays balanced. Among ideologies, the closest is old labour (89%).
