Growing opposition to

Norwegian EU membership




Nearly 55 per cent of those asked say no to Norwegian membership in the European Union (EU), according to the June poll made by Sentio for the newspapers Nationen and Klassekampen.

The poll shows that 54.9 per cent of those asked are opposed to Norwegian EU membership, up 5 points from the May poll, while 35.6 per cent say they are in favour, 1.6 points down from May.

Opposition to EU is strongest among the young people, the survey shows. Only one in four under the age of 30 would have voted in favour of EU membership if a referendum was held now.
