Here are some of party’s goals:

  • A Vinmonopol and sexual health clinic on campus
  • No exams 2, 3, 18, or 19 May
  • Get access to the Frigg-bane for all student sports
  • Build a walkway over Forskningsparken T
  • An amusement park at least once a year, with a student discount
  • Build student housing at Tørteberg
  • On-site therapy dogs for all exams

The student political scene at the University of Oslo has a new member: Gjestelista is a populist party with a concrete platform.

«There’s a new political party at UiO that will confront boring student politicians and their topics that have nothing to do with students’ everyday life. Gjestelista is running on a platform of issues that are important to people,» the party wrote in a press release.

The party leader is Simen Flotvik Mathisen.

«I think we can all agree it’s crazy that we have obligatory lectures in the morning when the campus cafés aren’t open,» said Mathisen in the press release.

In addition to leading the new party, Mathisen is a board member of Det Norske Studentersamfund.

The deadline for registering a political party was 15 February.

Student parliament elections at UiO start 18 April. All students can vote.
