OSLO, Norway (AP) - A left-leaning alliance that wants to spend more of
Norway's oil wealth on its welfare system appeared headed to an election
victory over the center-right government late Monday, according to
preliminary returns.

With 90 percent of the votes counted, official results showed the Labor-led
opposition bloc would have a majority bloc of 88 seats in the 169-seat
Parliament.

Labor leader Jens Stoltenberg campaigned on a pledge to spend more of
Norway's oil money on welfare, while Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik's
center-right coalition advocated lower taxes at a time of unprecedented
prosperity. Labor opposed cutting taxes. .. SNIP
