Marxistparti kan bli tungan på vågen i norska valet

The Red Party (Bokmål: Rødt, Nynorsk: Raudt, Northern Sami: Ruoksat) is a socialist political party in Norway. It was founded in March 2007 by a merger of the Workers' Communist Party and the Red Electoral Alliance. Ideologically, it has been described as left-wing and far-left on the political spectrum. In its political program, Red sets the creation of a classless society to be its ultimate goal, which the party says is "what Karl Marx called communism". The party's other goals are replacing capitalism with socialism, an expansive public sector and nationalisation of large enterprises. It has a revolutionary socialist ideology, which aims towards new legislatures taking power on behalf of the workers. However, the party does not support violent "armed revolution" as espoused by its predecessors in the 1970s and 1980s. It strongly opposes Norway's membership in the European Union.The Red Party has 10 county council representatives nationwide and 80 municipal representatives. In the 2013 parliamentary election, it was the largest party which failed to win a seat. The party entered parliament in the 2017 election, winning 2.4% of the votes and its first seat ever in the Storting. The last time a far-left party had representation in the Storting was when its predecessor party, the Red Electoral Alliance, won a seat in the 1993 election.

In the run up to the 2021 Norwegian parliamentary election, various organisations carry out opinion polling to gauge voting intention in Norway. Results of such polls are displayed in this article. The date range for these opinion polls are from the previous general election, held on 11 September 2017, to the present day. The next election is scheduled for September 2021. Unlike most nations, Norway's constitution does not allow early elections before the four-year term limit.
