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.
