People's Action No to More Road Tolls

The People's Action No to More Road Tolls (Norwegian: Folkeaksjonen nei til mer bompenger, FNB) is a political party of Norway. The single-issue party's stance is that road construction should be entirely funded through ordinary taxes and road tolls should be abolished.[1] The party was founded in 2014 in Stavanger as a reaction to the plans to erect a toll ring in Stavanger/Sandnes.[2] Starting off as a people's action, it was reformed as a party and ran in 2015 municipal elections, winning three municipal councilors. It was initially led by Frode Myrhol.[3] At its first party convention, in 2020, a dispute around the leadership role lead to the party opting to have to joint party leaders, Frode Myrhol and Cecilie Lyngby.
