Why ? It ' s ugly . Is it because of the name ? <| sep |> Political Science guru Bernt Aardal with other big polsci names writes a book about election surveys after every parliament election . In the 2013 election , it was apparent that transportation samferdsel was one of the five great issues that people let decide their vote . The others where healthcare , senior care , environment and although it does not seem like it , education . This shows that the electorate is passionate about education , and it is therefor important for parties to have a clear and sometimes unique view on education . This does not mean we necessarily see a large education budget , but rather a lot of publicity on symbolic stuff like grading children , being harsher on pupil absence and fancy reforms . It seems no matter if it is the left or right that is in charge , the teachers will have to find their highvis vests and strike in order to make their voice heard . The final , desperate way of influencing politics within the framework of the law . Back to the surveys What is interesting is that this does not line up with the surveys that newspapers are publishing . In 2017 I assume Norway will see a large spike in immigration issues , and a small spike in security . Anyway that was kinda off topic .
