Member of Parliament Haakon Skramstad from the Center Party has joined the Conservative Party and the European Movement. He has grown tired of the party’s politics.

Haakon Skramstad (Sp) was elected as 2nd deputy representative in the Storting from Akershus in autumn 2021. He says there are two reasons for the change.
– I have always been interested in Europe and EU politics. I have been a Center Party member in spite of that. The second reason is domestic politics. I think there is too much dictation by SV and the left. The Center Party no longer pursues clear, good old-fashioned centre-party politics, he adds Aftenposten.
Skramstad sees himself as a classic Center Party voter. He grew up in the village and joined Senterungdommen as a 14-year-old. After 17 years in the Center Party, he says goodbye to the party.
– I think we need more value creation out in the rural areas. And I think the Conservative Party has policies that can achieve that, he adds.
