Liberal Coalition Party
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Liberal Coalition Party (Liberala samlingspartiet) was a political party in Sweden represented in the Riksdag from 1900 to 1924. The party was in government 1905–1906, 1911–1914 (Karl Staaff) and 1917–1920 (Nils Edén).
In 1924 the party was split over the issue on alcohol prohibition. The anti-ban minority formed the Liberal Party of Sweden and the pro-ban majority formed Frisinnade folkpartiet (loosely translated as "Broadminded People's Party").
