History
When the party chairman Lars Oftedal entered cooperation with the Conservatives, part of the party returned to the Liberals, turning the Moderate Liberals even more into a landowners party. But unlike the Conservatives, the Moderate Liberals were in favour of increased home rule and eventually independence. When the Conservatives changed opinion of the union and the Coalition Party was founded, the Moderate Liberals joined this. In 1906 the Moderate Liberal Party became part of the Conservative Party. The remaining Liberal Party was often referred to as the Broad-Minded Liberal Party while the moderates were in existence.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of reform is always identical; it is the comparison of the idea with the fact. Our modes of living are not agreeable to our imagination. We suspect they are unworthy. We arraign our daily employments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The history is always the same the product is always different and the history interests more than the product. More, that is, more. Yes. But if the product was not different the history which is the same would not be more interesting.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
