The 2011 Norway attacks were not a central issue of the campaign . All the main parties had strongly condemned both the attacks and the political ideology of the perpetrator . When Stoltenberg accused the Conservatives of poor leadership skills for failing to offer a united alternative to the red – green coalition , Solberg retorted by pointing out that the Gjørv Report had cited poor leadership prior to the attacks . The retort provoked a negative reaction and was described as legitimate but unwise by the political commentator Frank Aarebrot . 33 survivors of the attacks ran for parliament on a Labour ticket , with four being elected , but their status as survivors was not a campaign issue . The Progress Party focused less on this issue and more on healthcare and infrastructure
