#03 The Decline of the Left Wing

Poldercast: The Dutch Politics Podcast

Once a political powerhouse, the Dutch Labour party PVDA is losing voters to both left and right and is struggling to keep its status as a major political force on the left. Instead, 3 different flavours of left: socialist, labour and green are now fighting for dominance. This episode of the Poldercast will look for an explanation for the decline of the Dutch Labour Party and will discuss if merging is a viable option for the 3 left wing parties, who currently have a combined number of just 34 seats in the polls in the run-up to the parliamentary elections in the Netherlands.
