Hopefully, the decision of the Norwegian Parliament will be a precedent for other European governments.
Leftists are generally hostile to anything involving money. Since they don't know how to create wealth (money, yes; wealth, no), for them it's always a zero-sum game. It doesn't help that leftists tied their fortunes to an ideology based on debt and all the ills associated with it.
The tendency of leftists is to bring everyone else down so that everyone is equal in misery. The problem is that that's been the default condition of humanity, so it's an easy thing to do. Much harder is to raise the standard of living so that people can rise out of poverty by acquiring wealth. This is what has happened for the last 5 to 10 centuries.
Some liberals are also leftists, but no leftists are liberals (as the term "liberal" had been used until recent years). This is becoming more apparent to liberals now.
