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 , Stephen Bråthen and Roy Wetterstad . The group had some support , but was a clear minority . During the convention , Hillgaar publicly lamented the " Moscow processes " of the convention , and also the views on women and the " extreme xenophobia " which he felt was conveyed by the party program . He left the party a week after the convention . He continued the rest of the term as an independent . There were talks about him fielding in the 1997 election for the Free Democrats , but this did not happen
