This year we have the general election here in Norway. Due to that many of the party’s have a stand on the main street of Oslo, Karl Johan. The one I find most noticeable is the one belonging to Demokratene. The reason for this: It is not the most eye-catching one, making sure that you at once knows which party it represents. No, Demokratene seems to be sponsored by Bautas, which is the largest equipment rental and outsourcing company in Norway, providing associated planning and rigging services. The first day I passed it I thought it had something to do with some construction work, but along side it an old man is standing handing out pamphlets. The best thing was one of the days it was pretty heavy rain, then he just stood inside with the door slightly open, with just his hand and the pamphlets showing.

At the right hand side you see the stand to the senior citizens party here in Norway, way more cozy.
