| Description | Center-right party launched and led by MP Pieter Omtzigt, heralded for exposing a conspiracy by Dutch authorities to wrongly accuse close to 26,000 parents of making fraudulent childcare benefit claims, an event which brought down the third Rutte government, which dissolved on January 10, 2022. Party focuses on the Lockian, good-governance themes propounded in Omtzigt's book published in 2021, Een nieuw sociaal contract, the proposals from which serve as the basis for the party. Party is chaired by Hein Pieper, chairman of the Dutch water authority Rijn en IJssel. Party was founded with the intent of participating in parliamentary elections planned for November 22, 2023. Party holds one seat in the House of Representatives [Nieuw Sociaal Contract (NSC)]. |
