The Socialist Party of the Netherlands is a radical party of the
left which has grown to challenge the domination of Dutch politics
by the neoliberal and Christian right and a Labour Party which has
long since lost its purpose. Now, through the party's English-language
news and opinion pages, you can read all about the activities of
the SP, of its 25 MPs, 12 Senators, 2 Euro-MPs, hundreds of local
councillors and over 50000 members, and see for yourself its dynamic
and activist resistance to the neoliberalism of the EU and WTO,
the militarism of NATO and the undermining of real democracy at
home and abroad. Go to SPNL
