NOThe article discusses an increase in the number of representative proposals submitted to the Norwegian Parliament (Stortinget) since 2011–2012. It notes that representatives have voted on such proposals 1,337 times this year compared to 319 in 2011–2012, while the number of general issues has doubled. Media researcher Ketil Raknes explains that more parties and increased competition for attention have contributed to this trend. He highlights that politicians often seek media attention by promoting proposals, especially through social media if traditional media reject them. The article also mentions that smaller parties, particularly the Conservative Party (Frp), have been most active in submitting proposals. Valgforsker Johannes Bergh attributes this to the fragmented parliament and frequent minority governments, which make it easier for parties to gain visibility through such proposals. While many proposals are likely to fail, both researchers emphasize the importance of allowing all representatives to submit proposals on behalf of their parties.
