Confidence and supply in Norway

It's a smaller country, but Norway may show how things would have worked out in the UK in 2010 if the Liberal Democrats had decided to go for constructive opposition rather than be part of a coalition. After just under three weeks of negotiation, following the general election of September, instead of a coalition of all non-socialist parties which the Norwegian Conservative leader desired, there will be a very conservative coalition of two with the Liberals and Christian Democrats staying outside government.
