0:00 / 0:41

Norway's election is closely contested between the center-left and right-wing blocs, with the future of a century-old wealth tax as a key issue. The Labor Party seeks to maintain the tax, while the right-wing coalition, led by the Progress Party, wants it abolished. The tax, levied on assets over $176,000, has become a focal point, particularly among younger voters influenced by social media campaigns. While the outcome won't drastically affect Norway's foreign policy, the debate highlights contrasting views on wealth distribution and economic priorities in this affluent nation. Official results are expected Tuesday.
