story
The party was founded in Arendal in April 1887 and was called Det norske Arbeiderparti (DnA) until April 2011 . In their first party manifesto, they called for universal suffrage for men and women and legally regulated working hours, among other things. In the first national elections in 1900, the party received 16% of the vote, but due to the electoral regulations in force at the time, none of its politicians got a seat in the Norwegian parliament, the Storting . In 1903 the party moved into the Storting with four members.
In 1921, after internal disputes over the 21 conditions proposed by Lenin and later decided on for admission to the Communist International, the Social Democratic Workers' Party of Norway (Norwegian: Norges Socialdemokratiske Arbeiderparti ) split off. The Labor Party belonged to the Communist International from 1919 to 1923 , to the London office from 1932 to 1933 , and then to the Socialist Workers' International until 1940 . In 1951 she became a member of the Socialist International , since 2013 she has been part of the Progressive Alliance .
In 1927 there was reunification with the Norwegian Social Democratic Labor Party . Since then, the Labor Party has been the strongest political party in the Norwegian parliament in Storting . In 1928 she was in government for the first time, but only for about three weeks. After the German occupation of Norway began in 1940, the Labor Party was banned until 1945. The Prime Minister elected in 1935, Johan Nygaardsvold , led a government in exile from London with other politicians who had fled , while Vidkun Quisling was installed as the new Prime Minister in Norway .
In the years after the German occupation, the Workers' Party, chaired by Einar Gerhardsen, stood for the development of the Norwegian welfare state . In 1957 the party achieved the best result in its history with 48.3% of the vote.
Ap last provided the Norwegian Prime Minister with Jens Stoltenberg from 2005 to 2013 .
Since 2013, like the Social Democrats in other European countries, the party has been losing support from the electorate. In the local and fylketings election (provincial election) in September 2019, it achieved the worst result since the end of the Second World War. In the Storting election in 2021, it received fewer votes than since 2001.
