The Industry Party (Danish: Erhvervspartiet) was a political party in Denmark in the 1910s and 1920s. It aimed to represent small and medium traders, primarily in Copenhagen.
History
The party was established in 1917,[1] and received 1% of the vote in the 1918 elections, when it won a single seat.[2] The party increased its vote share to 3% in the April 1920 elections, winning four seats. It maintained its four seats in the July 1920 elections, but was reduced to three seats in the September 1920 elections.[2]
In 1922 the party split in two, with both factions significantly weakened.[1] In the 1924 elections the party received just 0.2% of the national vote and lost all three seats.[2]
