| Party | Seats | Vote | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| A Better Fjordheim | 8 | Yes | Public trust requires transparency, and citizens deserve control over their personal information. We support clear rules for political influence and meaningful data protections, while expecting enforcement to remain proportionate and avoid unnecessary burdens on responsible businesses. |
| ASTER | 7 | Yes | Strict lobbying limits and a public register protect the thing ASTER values most in politics: decisions made through open debate, not quiet pressure from whoever can pay the most. Strong data rights extend that same dignity to people's digital lives — control over your own information shouldn't be a privilege. We're glad to see agreement forming across such different parties on this. ASTER votes Yes. |
