The Red-Green Coalition is a centre-left coalition of Norwegian parties, formed by the Labour (Ap), the Socialist Left Party (SV), and the Centre Party. Unlike many other Red-Green coalitions, the "Green" here is the colour of a centrist party rather than an actual Green party. It was established in 2005 to constitute an alternative to the centre-right government of Kjell Magne Bondevik, and won the Norwegian parliamentary election, 2005. The 2009 election gave the coalition a renewed majority. The coalition fared well in the 2005 parliamentary elections, winning a slight majority of seats, and a majority government among the parties was agreed upon, the first majority government in Norway since 1985. It replaced the Bondevik government on October 17, 2005.
