No taboos or “political correctness”, a focus on border control, economic freedom and law and order, and a smaller government – these are some of the electoral proposals from the small, hard-right JA21 party.

Hoping to profit from Geert Wilders’ perceived lack of achievement in government, JA21 is currently polling at five to nine seats.

Presenting its 61-page manifesto on Thursday, leader and sole MP Joost Eerdmans described it as a “broad conservative-liberal” party with a positive vision for the future.

Although the party wants a smaller government, it proposes a new minister for “government efficiency and autonomy” to organise binding referenda on topics such as asylum, population growth and “the way we deal with nature in our country”. It also wants a minister for nuclear energy.

The party calls for stronger immigration policy “to create space on the housing market, protect Dutch culture and mandate integration”, paying for other countries to take the Dutch share of asylum seekers under the EU migration pact, tightening rules for naturalisation and family migration and reducing the number of foreign students.

It claims “Dutch culture should be the leading culture in our society”, saying currently cultures clash “in practice, often our free Western culture and the Islamic culture”. It proposes greater scrutiny of Islamic education, a ban on “amplified calls to prayer”, and a ban on burkas.

It also wants to halt any measures against institutional racism and rules out compensation to the descendants of people enslaved by the Dutch.

The party has recently recruited former PVV prisons minister Ingrid Coenradie and former New Social Contract asylum spokesman Diederik Boomsma to stand for election.
