Government of Torp

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Torp government was formed on November 19, 1951 by Oscar Torp and replaced the former government of Gerhardsen II in Norway . It lasted until January 21, 1955. In the parliamentary election of October 12, 1953 , the ruling Arbeiderpartiet (Ap) was able to increase its majority to 47.7 percent of the vote ( 1949 : 45.7 percent), but lost 8 because of the right to vote of their 85 seats and, with 77 of 150 seats, only had a narrow absolute majority in Storting . The government continued to consist entirely of members of the labor party.
