These changes bring our policy more in line with neighboring countries and address rising life expectancy and healthcare costs, ensuring sustainable pension systems and fair social care funding for future generations. We ask a bit more of the richest elders, to help fairly fund the poorest.

| Party | Seats | Vote | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| A Better Fjordheim | 8 | No | ABF supports responsible reform, but raising retirement age by five years while shifting more elderly-care costs onto individuals weakens the security people have earned after a lifetime of work. Sustainability should not come at the expense of basic retirement protection. |
| ASTER | 7 | No | This bill applies two different standards depending on which article is convenient. Raising the retirement age treats every worker the same regardless of income, ignoring that manual laborers and desk workers don't age through their jobs at the same rate — five extra years lands heaviest on the people least able to absorb it. Then the elder care article suddenly discovers that wealth matters, means-testing care so the richest carry more of the cost. If fairness through wealth is the principle, it should apply to both articles, not just the one that saves money. ASTER has voted before against conditioning basic support on financial circumstance, and we're not reversing that position here. People don't stop needing care once a threshold says they should be able to afford it themselves. ASTER votes No. |
