Ep.83: The Dutch Elections with Nikki Gommers

Dunn Street founder Stephen Donnelly was joined by organiser and Volunteer Coordinator for the PvdA, Dutch Labor Party, Nikki Gommers. Nikki gives us a rundown of the recent elections in the Netherlands and the campaigning tactics of the PvdA party, including the challenge of electing a new party leader in such a short time frame before the national election and campaigning during a pandemic. Nikki also gives us insight into her journey into campaigning, how other young Dutch people are involved in the politics of their nation, and the state of social democratic parties in Europe. The presenting sponsor of the Socially Democratic podcast is Dunn Street.
