The leaders of PvdA and GroenLinks say the new party will be the largest in the Netherlands, with 103,000 members. Membership rose sharply in recent years, in part because some people joined both parties ahead of the merger. A spokesperson confirmed that any duplicate counts have now been removed.
Klaver believes PRO has the potential to become the largest party in the next lower house election. “If we work hard and, above all, remain true to ourselves.” GroenLinks-PvdA is already the biggest party in the Senate, in part due to the breakup of the BBB Senate faction, and also holds the largest number of Dutch seats in the European Parliament.
While GroenLinks-PvdA remained the biggest party nationally in last week’s municipal elections, it lost a significant number of council seats. This comes after a tough result in last autumn’s lower house election, where the left-wing alliance dropped five seats.
