Norwegian parliamentary election, 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The election was won by the opposition centre-left Red-Green Coalition, which took 87 seats, dominated by the Labour Party's 61 seats. |
 | | The red-green coalition was the winner of the election and formed a majority government, with Jens Stoltenberg as prime minister, on October 17, 2005, as soon as a national budget for 2006 had been proposed by the old government. |
 | | This disparity is caused by the Norwegian electoral system, which assigns seats according to a formula favouring the geographically larger counties with small populations that are located proportionally further from the capital, and disadvantages the more dense populated counties. |
