– It is 90 per cent certain that the transition will come, Frisvold adds GD.
He has previously been a member of the Conservative Party, but in October he resigned. In the role of mayor, he has stood for the Bygdelista party, and the announcement from the Conservative Party thus had no practical significance for the role of mayor.
Frisvold resigned from the Conservative Party after the party’s position in the county council on a new school structure. The fact that he is now considering going to the Conservatives is also a clear political reaction after the school case in Inlandet.
The mayor believes the municipality must now look at a conservative alternative to the Conservative Party.
– I will be the people’s memory and will work to ensure that the Conservative Party, the Labor Party and the MDG will have as little influence as possible in the interior. It is they who have made the noise, says Frisvold, and points out that these parties made the decision to close secondary schools in the region.
On its own website, Konservativt describes itself as “a value-conservative party that wants to preserve and protect Norway as a free and independent nation with safe borders”. Among other things, the party says no to the EEA agreement, yes to family protection and wants to withdraw Norway from the UN migration agreement.
The former Frp representative Fridtjof Bjerke in Øyer municipal council switched parties to the Conservative Party this summer. With him, he took half the local team from Øyer Frp over to Konservativet Øyer.
Bjerke informs GD that a founding meeting will be held on Tuesday for a local team which will most likely be named Konservativt Lom.

**Interview with Frisvold on the Upcoming Transition in Local Politics**
**Editor:** Good morning, Frisvold! Thank you for joining us today. You’ve mentioned that it’s 90 percent certain that a significant transition is on the horizon for local politics. Can you elaborate on what this transition entails?
**Frisvold:** Good morning! Yes, it’s an exciting time for local governance. The transition involves the establishment of new local party branches, which aims to revitalize political engagement and representation in our communities.
**Editor:** That sounds promising! What factors have contributed to your confidence in this transition?
**Frisvold:** Several factors play into this. Firstly, there’s a growing demand among citizens for more localized decision-making and representation. Secondly, I’ve seen a surge in grassroots movements that are pushing for changes that reflect the communities’ unique needs.
**Editor:** Interesting! How do you think this transition will impact local governance?
**Frisvold:** I believe it will enhance transparency and accountability. With more local party branches, citizens will have direct avenues to voice their concerns and influence policies that affect their daily lives.
**Editor:** That certainly sounds like a step in the right direction. What challenges do you foresee during this transition?
**Frisvold:** One of the biggest challenges will be ensuring effective communication and collaboration between existing political structures and the new local branches. It’ll be crucial to foster a spirit of cooperation rather than competition.
**Editor:** Thank you for your insights, Frisvold! It seems we may be witnessing a significant shift in local politics soon.
**Frisvold:** Thank you for having me! I’m hopeful that this transition will bring about positive change for our communities.
