| Message | Herr Huspresident, I am disappointed with Ms Bjørnstad that this bill has come right to the floor without any attempt to seek consensus and negotiation. We in Folkepartiet can 100% support adjustments to our corporation and sales taxation. However, we cannot and will not vote in favour of these privatisations and movements to make our society less liberal that the minister saw fit to tack onto this bill. I worry for the direction that this government is choosing to take, and indeed feel great sadness for the distance that now exists between these benches and our former colleagues on the DLK benches. Thomas Christersen Finance Spokesperson |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
