Socialist People's Party (Norway)
The Socialist People's Party was a splinter group of the Norwegian Labour Party founded in 1961. SF was principally dissatisfied with the pro-NATO/European Economic Community external policies of DNA. A group centered on the magazine Orientering had been expelled from DNA. The party merged into the Socialist Left Party in 1976.History
In the mid-1960s the youth organization of SF, Socialist Youth League, started moving towards revolutionary Marxism, leading to a split in 1969. The SUF broke away, renamed itself SUF and launched the Workers' Communist Party .
Following the split, Socialist People's Youth became the new SF youth wing. SF lost parliamentary representation in 1969, but in 1972 a DNA MP, Arne Kielland, joined SF.
SF was the driving force behind the formation of Socialist Electoral League, which later emerged into Socialist Left Party. SV can be seen as the direct successor of the SF.
