Storting

The Storting is the lower house (underhuset) of the Unionsparlamentet. Like the upper house (overhuset), the Landsting, it meets in the Stortingsbygningen (Union Storting Building) in the city of Stockholm.. Officially, the full name of the house is the Ærlig Stortingsrepresentant (Honourable Storting Representative).

The Storting is an elected body consisting of 349 members known as Stortingsrepresentant (SRs). Members are elected to represent constituencies by first-past-the-post and hold their seats until Storting is dissolved.

The Government is solely responsible to the Storting and the Prime Minister stays in office only as long as he or she retains the support of a majority of the Storting.
