Libertarian Party (Norway) (1814: Norwegian Independence)

The Libertarian Party (Landsmål: Liberalistane, L) is a Libertarian and Minarchist political party in Norway. The party was founded in 1998 by former Separatists and Unionists that felt that there where next to no political parties advocating for classical liberalism, libertarianism and the idea of a small state.

The party is heavily inspired by the principles of the Age of Enlightenment and the Libertarian Party in the United States. They want to limit the role of the state, freer market and a gradual dismantling of the welfare state. They want basically a Nightwatcher state in Norway.

The party gained one representative in the 2006 Parliamentary election, but it was lost after next election.

Today, current leader of the Libertarian Party is Espen Hagen Hammer.
