Liberal People's Party (Norway, Old)

|
Template:Politics of Norway Det Liberale Folkeparti (Liberal People's Party, DLF) was established because of a split in the Norwegian liberal party Venstre in 1972. They couldn't agree on Norwegian participation in the European Union. The new party was called "Folkepartiet Nye Venstre". They later had to change their name because Venstre protested against this name. The new name became "Det Nye Folkepartiet". The name was later changed to "Det Liberale Folkepartiet". The party's popularity went down in all of the 1980s and in 1988, they decided to officially end the party and encouraged all old members to join Venstre. In 1992 some of the old members decided to recreate DLF. Until 1988 DLF was, like Venstre, a social liberal party.
