From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Autonomy Party or The Autonomy Movement (Danish: Selvstyrepartiet or Selvstyrebevægelsen)[1] was a Danish party in Southern Jutland which was founded in 1926 by Cornelius Petersen.[2] The party wanted to abolish democracy and establish a Schleswigian republic[3] with a national dictatorship based on The 10 commandments and the Code of Jutland of the Codex Holmiensis. The party ran in the 1926 general election in Haderslev-Aabenraa-Sønderborg-Tønder county constituency without first collecting any voter declarations, as the party used a rule in the Danish Parliamentary Election Act of 1920 stating that political parties from Southern Jutland could stand without the usual requirement for voter declarations.[4] In the election, the party received 2,117 out of 66,843 valid votes in the constituency, corresponding to 3.2% of the votes in the county constituency, or 0.16% of the votes in all of Denmark.[5] The party later joined the National Socialist Workers' Party of Denmark.
