  "account": "Høyre has criticized Frp, stating that Listhaug and Vedum are like two drops of water, constantly passing blame to each other. Ola Svenneby, a Høyre nestleder, expressed his frustration after Listhaug's meeting with E24 at Circle K on Skøyen. Listhaug claims that Høyre has failed and wants to take responsibility for the impending fuel price hike. Svenneby argues that Listhaug's economic policy lacks coherence, leading to increased pressure on interest rates, which in turn will burden taxpayers. Svenneby believes that Listhaug has never demonstrated how she will cover her promises. He points out that Frp once proposed increasing oil consumption beyond the Rødt party, highlighting the significant funding required. Høyre, on the other hand, maintains clearer priorities, such as keeping expenditure low and allowing citizens to retain more of their own money. Høyre's pledge includes allowing families to retain an additional 24,000 kroner annually and reducing taxes for the domestic business sector by several billion. Svenneby warns against stacking up small measures like crises packages, tax cuts, or other policy actions, advocating for a fundamentally different approach through permanent tax reductions. He believes that voters are wary of parties making promises they cannot keep, noting that Listhaug's promises are numerous and would necessitate a dramatic increase in oil subsidies. This approach would create immense pressure on interest rates, further stressing taxpayers. Svenneby draws a parallel to Trygve Slagsvold Vedum, who also promised to reduce average fuel prices below 20 kroner but ultimately failed to deliver. Listhaug has taken up Vedum's role, Svenneby asserts, highlighting the similarities between the two leaders. The question remains: what distinguishes the two leaders of the \"bluenorth diesel alliance\"? Despite their rhetorical similarities, Vedum's past record of broken promises suggests a pattern of failure. Høyre's top leadership is attempting to attack Listhaug, but she remains focused on controlling fuel tax increases for the well-being of her constituents.",
