Parliament of Norway (Storting)

The Norwegian Parliament, called the Storting, is Norway's national legislative body. It consists of 169 members elected every four years by the people. The Storting creates laws, approves the national budget, and supervises the government to ensure accountability. It operates as a parliamentary democracy, meaning the government must have the Storting’s support to govern. The Storting plays a key role in shaping Norway’s policies on issues like welfare, education, and the environment, and it works through committees and debates to make informed decisions reflecting the citizens’ interests.
