The Radical People's Party (Norwegian: Det radikale folkeparti), founded as the Labour Democrats (Norwegian: Arbeiderdemokratene), was a radical political party in Norway mainly active from 1906 to 1936, targeting workers and smallholders. The party was founded by Johan Castberg, who led the party until his death in 1926.[2] He was succeeded in this position by Alf Mjøen, who also represented the party as a member of the Storting.
