The party came to after a break with the Pensioners Party and ran for the 1993 election, then under the name Common Future (Felles Framtid). In the 1995 election the name had however been changed into People's Will (Folkets Vilje), and in the 1999 election the party had changed name yet another time, now to the Generation Party (Generasjonspartiet).Its final name, the Social Democrats, was approved for the 2001 election after the Norwegian Labour Party's protest against the name had been dismissed.In 2002 the party was tried taken over by a group of former Progress Party members with Vidar Kleppe in the lead. This however failed, and Kleppe and his allies instead formed the Democrats, and even though this was originally presented as a continuation of the Social Democrats, both parties were listed as political parties in 2005. By the 2003 election the Social Democrats delivered in several protests against the Democrats' lists on the grounds that it was the Social Democrats who had initially registered the name Democrats. This was however rejected.
