A Dictionary of Dutchness
D66
The political party Democraten 66 was formed in 1966 with the aim of reforming the Dutch democratic system. Describing itself as a progressive, social liberal party, D66’s political fortunes have had their ups and downs. In the 2006 general election it almost disappeared from parliament and won just three seats. But new leader Alexander Pechtold has since revitalised the party's fortunes, winning plaudits for his opposition to the rhetoric of anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders.
