Founding members

The party was founded on 24 August 2002 in Oslo, primarily by former Progress Party members, but also former members of the Labour Party, Conservative Party, Liberal Party and Socialist Left Party

What else is known of e.g. Svp (!!) and Venstre members who joined the new party? The link there did not offer much information. --Miacek and his crime-fighting dog (woof!) 18:55, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it seems that the former SV member is Kjell Arne Sellæg, who participated in building up and voting for SV for 30 years.[1] However, as he says in an article he thinks that the socialist immigration-policy has gone completely out of control. He says (in response to this news article about the increase of violence and robbery in Oslo) "Is this how we are supposed to live in the future? With unsafe streets and an unsafe society. Is this how you who vote "red" want to live, in fear?" Today he apparently is General Secretary for the Democrats, and seems to have been vital in the organisation of the party.

Name change

I have changed the name of the article from "The Norwegian Democrats" to "Norway Democrats". The change brings the article's title in line with pre-existing ones such as the Denmark Democrats and the Sweden Democrats, which clearly influenced the recent name change in this party. The new name is also a direct and more accurate translation of the Norwegian name. Additionally, we generally refrain from including the definite article ("the") in party names unless integral to the name. All of these points warrant that we call the party the Norway Democrats.
