 The traditionalist ( also called populist ) faction was represented by party leader Carl I. Hagen , Jan Simonsen , Fridtjof Frank Gundersen , Vidar Kleppe , Øystein Hedstrøm , <unk> Solholm and Eli Hagen . The libertarians of the party were first and foremost the deputy leader Ellen Wibe and four members of Parliament ( by some called the " band of four " ) , Ellen Christine Christiansen , Oscar D. Hillgaar , Roy N. Wetterstad and Stephen Bråthen . Buskerud county leader Geir Thoresen , Akershus county leader Per Aage Pleym Christensen and Youth of the Progress Party leader Lars Erik Grønntun were other prominent libertarians . Both during the preceding months and on the opening day , resolutions were passed which ensured full dominance for Carl I. Hagen and the policies of his faction . Wibe resigned as deputy leader , and Carl I. Hagen 's men ( there were no women left in the leadership ) also dominated the new central committee . The personal issues totally overshadowed the regular political debate , and as early as on 17 April the convention was famously dubbed as the " national convention at Dolkesjø " — derived from <unk> , the Norwegian word for dagger .
