Template:Politics of Norway Det Liberale Folkeparti (Liberal People's Party, DLF) is a free market liberal party created in 1992 by some of the members of the Old Liberal People's Party. As Fremskrittspartiet has become less liberal since the 1990's, many of itse former members joined DLF instead. DLF has become increasingly more market liberal, and since 2001 the party has been a promoter of market liberal principles and laissez-faire capitalism.
DLF differs from the United States Libertarian Party in respect of some fundamental issues, like interventionism. From Libertarian perspectives on foreign intervention one can read that libertarians are anti-interventionists, while DLF is not against foreign interventionism.
