Cracking numbers

The effin Red-Green coalition has "won" the national elections and are set for another four years of governing. However, due to Norways electoral system, the opposition gained more votes than the Red-Greens while coming up just short of a majority in Parliament (2 reps). I have calculated the numbers for the whole country as one circuit, and they are as follow (actual election result in parenthesis):

AP (Labour): 60 (64)
SV (Socialist): 11 (11)
SP (Agrarian): 10 (11)

R (Commies): 2 (-)
MGP (Greens): 1 (-)
PP (Pensioners): 1 (-)

V (Liberals): 7 (2) (These poor bastards didn't make the 4% national threshold)
KrF (Christians): 9 (10)
H (Conservatives): 29 (30)
Frp (Populist): 39 (41)

So we see that the Red-Greens would get 81 seats, 83 with the Commies. The center-right opposition would get 84 seats. This result would leave the Greens and the Pensioners holding the balance.
