Henk Kamp: "In de 25 jaar dat ik Kamerlid en minister ben geweest, was er altijd een centrumlinkse meerderheid. Er is voor het eerst een centrumrechtse meerderheid. Om dat te doen waar bijna iedereen bezorgd over is: het grootschalige misbruik van de asielprocedure." (26 juni 2025)

There are three things everyone should know about youth and far-right voting: 1: There is (averaged all European countries) no correlation between being young and voting for the far right.

@ipsosnl.bsky.social published an age breakdown of the results of the election polls regarding tomorrow's Dutch elections. Young Dutch voters are leaning more towards the centre-left (D66, PvdA-GL, PvdD, Volt), and are less likely to vote for both the far-right and the center-right.
