NO

This market will resolve to "Yes" if, by the end of 2023, any major Norwegian Political party has mentioned "Land Value Tax" favorably on the section of their website that lays out their platform / list of supported policies.

Not using the word "Land Value Tax" but instead mentioning "Property Tax" combined with an exemption for buildings/improvements of greater than 50% of their value will also count.

The key Norwegian words are "landskatt" (lit. "land tax") and "eiendomskatt" (lit. "property tax"), but English language versions of the site's text, or public statements endorsing such policies by the leader of any major Norwegian Political party, will also be accepted. "grunnrenteskatt" (lit. "ground rent tax") will also count so long as it's clearly used in reference to an LVT and not to e.g. a resource rent tax.

This only has to happen one time by any major Norwegian Political party at any time prior to the closing date to count. IE, if they support it briefly and then remove it later by the closing date, it still counts.

"Major Norwegian Political party" is hereby defined as:

- A political party

- In the Kingdom of Norway

- That has at least 10 MP's in the national parliament ("Stortinget")

As of this writing the following parties qualify, but this may change by the date of closing:

- Labour Party / Arbeiderpartiet

- Conservative Party / Høyre

- Center Party / Senterpartiet

- Progress Party / Fremskrittspartiet

- Socialist Left Party / Sosialistisk Venstreparti

Note furthermore that absence of explicit support for Land Value Tax, but with the presence of support for redistribution of land title ownership, does not count as support for Land Value Tax.

Okay so pretty much everybody has a bunch of milquetoast positions on property tax - “local kommune should decide,” etc etc and throw in their favorite exemptions and whatnot. SV wants to tax second homes some more, FRP wants to abolish property tax entirely. LVT not currently only anyone’s official platform that I saw. Resolves NO

@LarsDoucet Can you resolve what is possible with all your closed markets, please?

predicted YES

@SirCryptomind Sorry some stuff keeps coming up. Let me go through again…

predicted NO

Fairly sure this market should resolve as NO.

predicted YES

@SEE Yeah, I'll check their platforms in a bit and then resolve.

predicted NO

@LarsDoucet [[Gentle prod for a resolve]]

bought Ṁ153 of NO

A tax on some other kind of natural resources, not literal land, presumably doesn't count @LarsDoucet?

Edit: should have read the description more closely:

as it's clearly used in reference to an LVT and not to e.g. a resource rent tax.

Sounds like no on the salmon tax then

I think some of the websites in the description are wrong - surely you want to refer to hoyre.no and senterpartiet.no for the Conservative and Center parties. Could you add the market to the Norway group?
