Sosialistisk Venstreparti

Placement: Libertarian left

The Socialist Left Party, an eco-socialist party led by Kirsti Bergstø: in opposition, it is one of the partners with which the Labour minority government negotiates its budget. Higher taxes on large fortunes, welfare without private profit, an end to new oil exploration, nature protection, and a more open asylum policy.

In short

On the traditional scale, Sosialistisk Venstreparti sits in the libertarian left camp. The clearest positions are on economy: strongly towards “equality”; society: strongly towards “progress”; religion: strongly towards “secularism”; environment: strongly towards “ecology”. On sovereignty, democracy and method it stays balanced. Among ideologies, the closest is democratic socialism (94%).
