CDA lost 4,600 members last year

Last week’s Christian Democratic party conference outlining a new political strategy generated some 50 new members for the CDA, news agency ANP reports.


But over 2011, the party lost 4,600 members and now has 61,294, ANP said. The drop is partly due to deaths but 880 members resigned because they no longer agreed with the CDA’s policies.
The CDA is part of a coalition cabinet with the right-wing Liberal VVD which in turn has an alliance with the anti-Islam PVV. Many CDA supporters oppose the tie-up with Geert Wilders’ party.
