The Liberal Party's annual conference adopted a number of resolutions on moral issues which could put relations with the Christian Democrats to the test. Among other things, the Liberals voted in favor of disestablishing the Church of Norway. On the other hand they voted in support of the additional cash benefit for the under threes, a key issue for the Christian Democrats. The Conservatives have joined the race to become the day care party, and are calling for an immediate increase in day care funding. However, the center alliance parties seem happy with the Government's promise to reduce day care fees by around NOK 200 a month.
Day care looks to be the election campaign's hottest issue.
The Labor Party would like to come out number one, but now the Conservatives have joined the race to be the most generous when it comes to funding nursery care. The Daily Norwegian is now available as a downloadable Braille or Dux file for a trial period. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
