Founded in 2009 as a pensioners’ rights party – despite being named for the over-50s – 50PLUS is riding high in the polls and could win up to 10 seats according to current polls. The party, headed by former Gaykrant editor Henk Krol, says the retirement age should be brought back to 65 and wants the excess charge in healthcare to be abolished. Website
