With Rasmus Hansson's strong showing in Oslo, the Norwegian Greens Miljøpartiet De Grønne will sent their first MP to Norway's Parliament. The party increased their vote considerably in the parliamentary elections on Monday September 9. After only achieving 0.4% in 2009, they managed to successfully establish themselves as a credible political force and scored 2.8% of Norway’s total votes in these elections. While this wasn't enough for them to pass the national threshold of 4%, they were nevertheless so successful in the electoral district of Oslo, that they won a long awaited seat in parliament.

"You have all reasons to be proud on yourselves."
"You have all reasons to be proud on yourselves." "You have all reasons to be proud on yourselves."

"You have all reasons to be proud on yourselves."

"You have all reasons to be proud on yourselves."

Throughout their campaign that was nearly completely run by volunteers, they were incredibly successful in framing the political discourse. For the first time issues such as climate change, Norway's role and its responsibility as a rich, oil producing nation, and energy transformation (as the overwhelming part of Norway’s energy sector still relies on their oil reserves) were hotly debated topics in national media and amongst all political parties. MDG managed to catch people's attention in their street campaigns with their fresh ideas and relentless effort. One of their spectacular mini campaigns was when Green campaigners went swimming in the fjords toshow strenght against oil extraction in Lofoten, Vesterålen og Senja in the North of Norway and other places. Many other Greens from all over Europe took part in the campaign, such as Gustav Fridolin (one of the spokespersons of the Swedish Greens) Finnish Ministers Heidi Hautala and Ville Niinistö, Eva Joly from the French Greens and Reinhard Bütikofer from the EGP, along with several Swedish and Finnish Green volunteers.

“Through your efforts and endeavors Green ideas are blooming up in Norway and I think you have all reasons to be proud on yourselves”, congratulated EGP Co-Chair Reinhard Bütikofer.
