You can reach them here:

Part of the pan-European Volt Europa movement, Volt seeks to provide a social-liberal alternative to both the VVD and especially D66 on the centre-left. They are progressive and seek to combine market liberalism, social progressiveness, and evidence-based policy-making. They seek solutions at the European level, supporting a federal Europe. However, they are struggling in a political field with strong liberal parties and a generally pro-EU political field.


Their members are:

Laurens Dassen

Marieke Koekkoek
