[[Jens Stoltenberg]] became Prime Minister after a dispute about gas power in 2000, but lost in the parlamentary election of 2001. He came back in power in 2005, and is still Prime Minister of Norway. Though Stoltenberg's current government has the majority of the mandates in the [[Stortinget|Storting]], the government is under heavy critisism of missing results of its promises before the election, and is in large danger of loosing the power to the right-wing parties, especially the [[The Progress Party (Norway)|Progress]] and [[The Conservative Party (Norway)|Conservative Parties]] after the next parliamentary election in 2009.

*''Arrogance of power.'' As governing party in 16 years after the Second World War, the party was called arrogant by many opposition members.
