Freelancers (zzp’ers) are unlikely to vote for the Labour party PvdA despite the party’s efforts to attract them with specific policies, according to the voting intentions barometer of freelancers’ platform Victor Mundi.

‘Freelancers are against many PvdA policies,’ Victor Mundi’s Jeroen Sakkers told BNR radio. ‘These include, minimum fees and compulsory insurance against loss of income.’
Only just under 25% of freelancers are in favour of loss of income insurance with its high premiums, Sakkers said.
Motherly
Nor are they keen on Mei li Vos, a prospective MP appointed by the PvdA to look after the interests of freelancers. Just 14% think this is a good idea. The rest do not want to be ‘mothered’ by her.
According to Johan Marrink of ZZP Nederland, freelancers think of themselves as entrepreneurs and are more likely to vote VVD, D66 or Christian Democrat.
‘There are 750,000 freelancers in the Netherlands which translates as a lot of seats,’ he told BNR radio. ‘This is why they are getting more attention than during previous elections.’
