Oslo Byaksjon: På parti med byen

A party calling themselves Oslo Byaksjon this year entered the elections, with the tagline "På parti med byen" (roughly, "On the city's side", or "With the city").

Their platform wasn't too bad, and I briefly entertained the notion of voting for them. In the end I didn't, for some important reasons; but it's not very relevant.

A Norwegian tradition is for the political parties to set up stands leading up to the election, along Karl Johans Gate (Main street, the street between the Royal Castle and the Storting (the parliament building), and this year was no exception. However, almost a month after the September 10th elections, Oslo Byaksjon still haven't removed the fiber boards after taking the thing apart. They're now an eyesore in the middle of Oslo's main street.

Ironic!
