History

PF started as the 'Postkortaksjonen' (Postcard campaign) in 2017, campaigning to get better healthcare services in the Alta and Kautokeino municipalities. [5] They organised postcards being sent to the Storting, describing their problems with healthcare. [6]

In 2021, the organisation submitted an electoral list in 2021 in order to take part in the parliamentary election that year. [6] After winning her seat, the leader Ojala took a position on the Health and Care Committee in the Storting. [7]

The party plans to run in the 2025 election. [7]

Positions

The party is considered to be single-issue, focusing primarily on the hospital and healthcare for the region. [5] [6] [2] However, in 2021 it plans to use direct democracy among its constituents to determine other policy posititions. [8]
