The Storting, the Parliament of the Kingdom of Norway, today – with a 56 to 87 (26 absentees) sufficient minority vote – rejected a motion to amend the Constitution of the Kingdom of Norway to introduce positive parliamentarism, i.e., investiture of the Cabinet by Parliament.
Had the motion passed, His Majesty's role – formally – when it comes to appointing the Cabinet would have been reduced to executing the will of Parliament.
Please feel free to see this forum thread on the matter (in Norwegian).
