References/commentary

I just mentioned this to Drmies, he suggested speaking to you. The references in this section appear to be more commentary than based on cited sources, and probably not quite NPOV. I'm unsure what the best approach is here - if this is accepted fact, are there references we can use to support it? PuppyOnTheRadio talk 06:11, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

The commentary is a footnote from the 1888 edition of the manifesto, by Engels. It was a bit weird to just add it like that like a commentary in wiki, so I merged two refs for some clarity. --Soman (talk) 07:33, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

NKP: Answer

Reidar T. Larsen, the NKP General Secretary, was elected to parliament in 1973, but they had no seats in 1976. Larsen was expelled from the party in 1975; he was accused of revisionism, and he became a member of the Socialist Left Party. So to answer you're question, they elected 1 person in 1973, but had no members in parliament in 1976. --TIAYN (talk) 15:54, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Are you saying that all the 15 other Sosialistisk Valgforbund MPs were non-NKP? --Soman (talk) 15:58, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Yupp, the others came from the Socialist People's Party (Norway) and AIK, a large group expelled from the Norwegian Labour Party. NKP "died" already in the post-World War II 1940s when it began to expel several of the leading war heroes from the party. But yes, they had only one seat: i can double check if you want, should I double check? --TIAYN (talk) 16:07, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! I found a reference now, based on the info you gave me. --Soman (talk) 16:13, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
