The Peace Politics People's Party (Danish: Fredspolitisk Folkeparti, FF) was a pacifist, liberal political party in Denmark.

History

The party was founded on 16 December 1963 by a group of pacifists who opposed Danish membership of NATO. In March 1964, a Socialist People's Party MP left to join the FF, giving it parliamentary representation. In the 1964 general elections the party received just 0.4% of the vote, failing to win a seat.

The party was disbanded in the end of the 1970s.
