Local elections last week here in the Netherlands. We’re also having national elections in two months time, so all the pundits in the media were treating this a bit as a poll for the parliamentary elections.
Me, I’ve done my bit for the SP, though not in the town I’m living in, as we’re not taking part in the elections there. Instead, I’ve been helping out in Amsterdam, doing the usual election stuff. Quite good fun.
It looks like we came out about even compared with last time. In quite a few districts where we were already part of the city council we lost seats, but we also gained seats in districts where we took part for the first time. And we went up one seat here in Amsterdam, from 3 to 4 seats, which is good.
The results of all the elections the SP took part in.
