During the election campaign, the conservative and liberal parties ran on the slogan "A free people in a free Norway."[2] They argued that a Labour Party victory would lead to terrorism, dictatorship, and Marxism.[2] A prominent controversial topic during the election campaign was the decision of the Labour government to allow Leon Trotsky to take up a domicile in Norway in 1935.[2]
