The Socialist Left Party of Norway was founded in 1975. Its history shows a long-term rise in political influence,resulting in part from its emergence from older left-wing parties,especially the Socialist People's Party. After initial political setbacks in the 1970s,the party reorganized and regained support,particularly under Theo Koritzinsky (1983–87) and Erik Solheim (1987–97). Support dropped in the 1997 parliamentary election but rose again by the 21st Century,thanks to the party's position as the only sizeable party to the left of the Norwegian Labour Party. Labour's move further to the right under Jens Stoltenberg also helped the party's rise. By 2005,the Socialist Left Party had joined the Labour and Centre parties in Norway's governing Red-Green Coalition. The party has been led by Audun Lysbakken since 11 March 2012.
The 1994 national convention of the Progress Party of Norway was held from 15 April to 17 April at the hotel BolkesjøTuristhotell in Bolkesjø,Telemark. It was originally set up to be a normal convention with 157 delegates in a non-election year,but because of mounting antagonism between a traditionalist and a libertarian faction,it became clear some months before the conventions that personal positions could be at stake. The party leader seat,held by Carl I. Hagen since 1978,was up for re-election. The deputy leaders Ellen Wibe and Hans J. Røsjorde was not up for election until 1995,but there were talks about forming a motion of no confidence against Wibe. The political disagreements roughly corresponded to a cleavage between two factions.
