: Every fourth year Sosialistisk Venstreparti's
: (Socialist Let Party) bill to make Norway a
: republic is voted over in the Storting.
:
: Dok.nr.12:15 (2003-2004)) will be debated
: and voted over on Thursday 22 May 2008.
: The bill is only expected to get around 20+
: votes (from SV's representatives as well as
: a few from the Labour party). There are
: certainly more republicans in the Storting
: than what the vote will show next Thursday,
: but the majority of politicians believe that
: the question has to be decided in a
: referendum, and as a clear majority of the
: people supports the monarchical form of
: government there is no reason for a
: referendum as of now.
Why does the government introduce such a bill if it knows it will not command any support?
