Center Party (Norwegian: Partiet Sentrum, Northern Sami: Bellodat Guovddáš) is a registered political party in Norway. The party was established by several former county leaders from the Christian Democratic Party, defectors from the Socialist Left Party,[3] the Labour Party, the Conservative Party[4] and the Green Party, as well as former city councilor for the Labour Party in Oslo Geir Lippestad. The party's youth organization is Unge Sentrum.[5]

In the party platform, the party has decided to be a bloc-independent center party based on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The party wanted a change of government after the 2021 Norwegian parliamentary election.[6] The party received 0.3% of the votes in the elections.[7]

Opinion polls

[edit]

In December 2020, the party secured enough signatures to run lists in all counties for the 2021 parliamentary election.[8] The Center Party was measured in opinion polls in the winter of 2020/21 between 0.0 and 0.7 per cent support.[9][10]

In the spring of 2021, Norstat conducted a nationwide survey commissioned by the Center Party, to answer how the party fared before the parliamentary elections in 2021.[11] Two percent of the 1,000 respondents answered "yes" to the question of whether they considered voting for the party in the autumn elections. Nine percent answered "maybe", and 13% answered "do not know".[12]
