The Political Party was a political party created by the Norwegian comedians Johann Golden and Atle Antonsen . The party made its first entry in Norwegian politics during the Norwegian general election of 2001, promoting the two leaders with slogans like "Johann Golden - Your slave in parliament". According to the party's platform, any representative of the party elected to parliament was to vote whatever the people wanted him or her to vote. To find out what the people wanted, they where to hold a poll on their web-site for every parliamentary issue the party got involved in. Thus the Political Party in some sense promoted the thought of direct democracy. The party program states that the Political Party is founded on the ideals of freedom, justice and politics.
In the general election of 2001 the party got nearly 1% of all votes made. The result was rather different in the school-elections where the Political Party got 8% of the votes. If these where official elections, the party would have gained approximately 12 representatives in parliament.
The Political Party has not been active before or after the general election of 2001.
