Several commentators agreed that Lysbakken was the "winner" of several of the biggest televised debates.

The campaign, focusing on issues of inequality, climate change and education, also resulted in a growth in voter share.

In early 2018, the party had over 11.000 members, the highest number since the early nineties.

Lysbakken led the party into 2021 election, with the campaign focusing on tackling climate change and inequality.
