Following the 1994 Progress Party national convention he left the Progress Party . Ahead of the convention he had submitted party-critical resolutions together with Ellen Wibe , Ellen Christine Christiansen , Oscar Hillgaar and Stephen Bråthen . The group had some support , but was a clear minority . At the end of the convention Wetterstad stated in an interview that withdrawing his party membership was out of question , but he left the party two weeks after the convention , and continued the rest of the term as an independent . He joined the Free Democrats
