The The Faroese People's Party - Radical Self-Government (Faroese: Hin føroyski fólkaflokkurin - radikalt sjálvstýri) is a conservative political party in the Faroe Islands, led by Anfinn Kallsberg. The party is affiliated to the International Democratic Union. At the last legislative elections on the 20th of January, 2004, the party won 20.6% of the popular vote and seven out of 32 seats. The party traditionally supported greater autonomy for the Faroe Islands but in 1994 adopted a policy of full independence as part of a coalition deal with the Tjóðveldisflokkurin and Sjálvstýrisflokkurin. Since 2004, the party has however been part of the coalition government led by Jóannes Eidesgaard, together with the Unionist Party (Sambandsflokkurin) and the Social Democratic Party (Javnaðarflokkurin), which want to maintain the existing political status quo between the Faroe Islands and Denmark.

When chairman Anfinn Kallsberg decided not to run for re-election, a new election was slated. There were two candidates, former minister of Fishery, Jørgen Niclasen, and current minister of Industry, Bjarni Djurholm. The election on 2 August 2007 gave Jørgen Niclasen the majority of the votes, and thus he's the new party chairman.
