Radical People's Party

Radical People's Party

Radical People's Party (in Norwegian: "Radikale Folkeparti") was a political party in Norway, originally founded as the Labour Democrats ("Arbeiderdemokratene"). The party took part in its first elections in 1906. At that time the party was led by Johan Castberg.

The party was based amongst small-scale peasants.

During the First World War, the party went into a period of steady decline. Only in Oppland and in lesser extent in Hedmark did the party retain some influence. In the 1918 the party only got one MP. He participated in the parliamentary fraction of the Liberal Party ("Venstre").

In 1921 the name Radical People's Party was adopted.

The party contested an election for the last time in 1936. After World War II, it had merged with the Liberal Party.
