The voter crossovers from 1993 to 1997 confirm the impression that Norwegian politics is in the midst of a highly unstable period, compared to the period up to 1985.
Not unexpectedly, one of the big winners in the election, the Christian Democrats, had the highest percentage of stable voters in relation to the previous parliamentary election, with 82 per cent.
Although the election's other success story, the Progress Party, had a significantly lower percentage of stable voters, with 64 per cent, voter stability was nevertheless considerably higher than the Progress Party has had in earlier elections.

Changes in organizational strength for dissidents and the regime result from reported defections or purges in the communist party, the integration of Solidarity rural organizations and the cooperation between the Church and Solidarity after martial law was imposed.
