The article is a debate piece written by an external contributor expressing their views on local politics in Nesodden, Norway. It addresses a response from Nesodden Høyre to a previous letter from political parties Ap, MDG, SV, and Venstre, which argued against starting a process to change the purpose of four natural areas into business zones. The author questions Høyre's rationale, lack of documentation for the need to convert these areas for business to achieve moderate population growth, and the concept of area neutrality mentioned in the community plan. The article also criticizes Høyre's approach to negotiations, such as the recent 2023 budget discussions, and suggests that Høyre has constructed a false dichotomy of 'position' and 'opposition' in local politics.
