The Center Alliance (Norwegian: Sentrumsalliansen) is a political party in Norway. The party was founded in Bergen on 28 March 2007[1] by a group of former members of the Norwegian Labour Party, among them both the leader and vice leader of the Bergen Labour Party, Jarl Høva and Merete Andreassen.[2] They claimed a wish to fill in the supposed vacuum between the Labour Party and Conservative Party.[3]
The party ran for election for the first time in Bergen in the 2007 municipality elections, then as the Social Democratic Party (Det sosialdemokratiske parti), receiving 0.5% of the votes in the city.[3] The Center Alliance ran for election in the county of Hordaland for the 2009 parliamentary election,[4] where they received a disappointing 0.1% of the votes.
Political profile
The party says that its most important issue is to "promote Hordaland and Western Norway's claim for more just distribution", and "change the long-term unfair resource distribution [from Eastern Norway] and demand equal treatment".[5] The party also often present itself with the prefix "Vestlandspartiet" (Western Norway Party).[6]
