Jens Bratlie
Jens Kristian Meinich Bratlie (17 January 1856, Nordre Land – 15 September 1939, Oslo) was a Norwegian politician, representing the Conservative Party. He was Prime Minister of Norway from 1912 to 1913.[1]
In the 1927 Norwegian parliamentary election he was the fourth ballot candidate for the party National Legion, behind Karl Meyer, Frøis Frøisland and Thorvald Aadahl.[2] In a press release, the National Legion (led by Meyer) stated that it had cherrypicked "strong" personalities to combat the hardships in Norwegian politics.[3] Frøisland denounced the ballot in an Aftenposten piece, stating that himself, Aadahl and Bratlie was unwilling and unaware of the nomination. He stated that a vote for the National Legion would be a wasted vote in the struggle against the "communists". However, according to Norwegian election law the people who were listed on the ballot had no legal grounds to avoid being nominated.[4]
