Which is irrelevant to what I wrote. And the decision wasn’t made on a whim, it was made because the opportunity had arisen. Popular support was secondary. Not like they held a plebiscite or called an election over the matter.

The election was this Sunday. The winning party NCP has been pro NATO for 20+ years, unlike the previously ruling SDP.
