Earlier this spring it became known that the influencer Oskar Westerlin (24) had been included in the electoral list of the right-wing radical party Alesne ahead of the autumn elections for the county council in Akershus.
Westerlin, who was listed 16th on the proposed list, had no idea of this himself.
– Oscar is not a member of the alliance, and it’s totally shocking that someone raised him. Director Vilde Darvik has stated that the party does not represent his world view Oslo newspaper in April.
She confirmed that they would immediately ensure that he was removed from the lists.

To Good night Norway, Darvik now says that Oskar Westerlin has demanded that the party remove him from the list, and that he is waiting for confirmation.
Claiming penalties for Lysglimt
At the head of the party’s proposed list ahead of this year’s municipal council elections in Oslo was comedian Johan Golden (48).
After him stood party leader Hans Liesglemt Johansen, and in third place the party nominated comedian Atlee Antonsen (53).

Both have now reached an apparent settlement with the party in an investigation of the City Council Secretariat.
“I am against my will on the coalition’s list for municipal and local council elections. What can I do to remove it from it, and are there any penalties, fines or the like that can be sent to the asshole Lysglimt?”
This is what Johan Golden wrote in his inquiry, clearly requesting that he be removed from the lists.

Atli Antonsen wrote the following in his investigation:
“I hereby give notice that I do not wish to be on the coalition’s list during the municipal council elections in the fall of 2023. I hope and believe that this email is sufficient for cancellation.”
Antonsen and Golden have now received a response from the city council that they have been removed from the proposed list.
It is stated that according to the election law, a person may be nominated in a proposed list without asking the person first.
To obtain an exemption, it is sufficient to send a letter to the city council secretariat, as Golden and Antonsen have now done.
The deadline for requesting an exemption from the proposed list was May 2. Exemption declarations sent must then be processed by the Electoral Board.
– festive
To Good evening Norway, party leader Hans Lysglimt Johansen said the following about calling comedian Johan Golden a “Lysglimt idiot”.
– It’s festive. Golden and Antonsen live by having fun with people. They had fun with me too, Lysglimt. But when someone has fun with them, they go crazy. We had so much fun working with these guys. At Alliansen, our principle is to always kick up. Moromenn at NRK are tough guys that most people are afraid of, so they have to put up with that, he says.
He further notes that he believes the matter was handled largely in good humor the last time Comedy Boys were included in the party’s electoral lists.
So far, Good Evening Norway has been unable to obtain comment from Golden and Antonsen on the matter.
Not the first time

Also in 2019, they were surprised when their name was part of the party list proposal.
– What? Is it me, it is said that Golden The daily newspaper When he heard that he had been selected to be on the coalition list in Oslo.
At that time, Golden chose a completely different strategy. Along with comedian Espen Thoresen and NRK satyr profiles Vik Pedersen and Markus Gaupås Johansen, he was still on the list when it was approved at the end of May 2019.
– These guys represent the alliance’s slogan “Nationalism with a Smile” in a great way, said party leader NTB at the time.
However, the four comedians were not enthusiastic, and went to cast Hans Liesglemt Johansen as party leader.
We will do our democratic duty and work hard for the party we were elected to represent. For us, it is quite clear that there is a crisis in the alliance. This crisis is a leadership crisis.they wrote in a press release.

– This is a Nazi party, but the rules say that people who are not Nazis can be added to the lists, the comedians said at a press conference marking the issue in June 2019, according to The newspaper online.
Hans Liesglemt-Johansen described the accusations of being a Nazi party as “pure comedy”.
In the fall of 2019, comedian Johan Golden received 158 votes in the Oslo elections. Thus, he climbed to the first place in the coalition election list.
Party leader Liesgelmit has made headlines before with statements such as “The right is being overturned and controlled by Jewish interests.” He also praised the Nazi group’s Scandinavian Resistance Movement (DNM) and called the Holocaust a “propaganda move”.
