 Already on the second day of the convention it was speculated that the " band of four " , four libertarian @-@ leaning members of Parliament , considered leaving the party . The four were Oscar D. Hillgaar , Roy Wetterstad , Ellen Christine Christiansen and Stephen Bråthen . The alternative to leaving the party was to mark themselves as dissenting party members . On the third day , news surfaced that the four had talked together . In the news program <unk> on 17 April , the band of four stated a desire to follow the 1993 party platform and not later resolutions . They were met by a demand from Carl I. Hagen that they continue on the " terms laid down by the national convention or find something else to do " . He later added that if the band of four left the parliamentary group , they should " scram " . To sum up , he said that the libertarians , which were known to be a minority , had gained too much influence , and was set back by the national convention . Øystein Hedstrøm demanded that the four leave the party . Because of the fierce personal antagonism at the convention , it was dubbed as the " national convention at Dolkesjø " — derived from <unk> , the Norwegian word for dagger .
