The Dutch nine-to-twelve-party system is sometimes hard to understand for foreigners; especially when the small parties come into play.

Today we’ll continue with animal-rights party PvdD.

This is just in: Job Cohen steps down as PvdA leader.
I haven’t reported on them yet, but all three pollsters have released a new poll which have been added to the polls page. In general. the recent trend from PVV to SP is confirmed, but has slowed down considerably.

Today we’ll start with the only new party that could make it to parliament: 50Plus.

This is the political blog of Peter-Paul Koch, mobile platform strategist, consultant, and trainer, in Amsterdam. It’s a hobby blog where he follows Dutch politics for the benefit of those twelve foreigners that are interested in such matters, as well as his Dutch readers.
