“This is now the 12th time, tri-partite coalition members of the Socialist Left (SV) would love to see Norway convert to being a republic.
“We have been proposing this should materialise, for the last eleven terms in parliament,” Snorre Valen states. The MP, who sits on parliament’s Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence, says…. “We have constructed a road map towards a republic, and called for the government to check into various methods of this. It’s a five-year plan. Parliament would look at it in the next term (from 2013), and if sanctioned, a referendum would be demanded in 2017 at the latest.”
