 Already during the national convention , the Youth of the Progress Party agreed to form an informal " thinking group " for disenfranchised members . Pål Atle Skjervengen was early in declaring an interest in forming a new , libertarian party . Those who resigned from the parliamentary group initially declared a lack of motivation to form a new party , and they also rejected the possibility of joining another party . They would instead vote according to the 1993 party program . Either way , in a parliamentary context they were known as independents for the remainder of their term . They did discuss the possibility of forming a " support group " which would help the four parliamentarians with practical issues . Odd Magnar Brubæk contributed advice on an informal basis from time to time . With some time passed since the Bolkesjø convention , it was decided to hold a formal conference to form a support group in mid @-@ June . Organizations in Akershus and Buskerud already existed , under the names of Fridemokratene Akershus and Buskerud Liberale Forum .
