Its an interesting subject we are getting into politicial research here though and we are not supposed to Also Im not the man for it  But Im often surprised by the eagerness poltical books claims the king has no power He has got a being there kind of power as advisor to the formal advisors and some legal books accepts this Hence his influence makes the polticians play nice Also if the politicians stopped agreeing about the rules the power would easely end up with the king Historically Haakon the ents intervention in  when he gave power to the labour party may have been the king using power in such a situation OK this being very possibly OT
