What was the main reason for Jagland's resignation as Prime Minister?

  • Health Issues

  • Political Defeat

  • 36.9 Ultimatum

  • Cabinet Scandals

Answer

Jagland's resignation as Prime Minister was prompted by the ultimatum issued by the leader of the Progress Party, Carl I. Hagen. The ultimatum demanded significant policy concessions, threatening to withdraw support for the government if its demands were not met. Jagland, unwilling to compromise his principles and risk political instability, chose to resign rather than acquiesce to the demands.
