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.
