In four panels, representatives of FNP and SSW will start a debate with each other, followed by questions and discussion with the audience. Those who follow the livestream also have the opportunity to ask questions.
The first panel will be about the political system in both countries and how the discussion about participation in national elections has evolved in the parties over the years. Why is it that SSW decided to run for elections now, for the first time since 60 years? It will be followed by a panel with SSW-MP Stefan Seidler and FNP-leader Sijbe Knol about the subjects that a regional party should focus on. And what can Seidler learn from the one-person parties in the Dutch parliament? In the third panel, SSW will explain how they planned and executed their campaign. The conference will conclude with an evaluation of the benefits the election campaign brought to SSW and we will try to draw lessons and find parallels.
The conference will be on Saturday afternoon 20 November from 14:00-17:00 hr in Breklum (Germany) en will be livestreamed though the social media of FNP. From 17:00 hr there will be the opportunity for the media to ask questions one-on-one with the representatives of FNP and SSW.
