It’s an election results special in this week’s podcast, as we discuss why local parties rule the roost, how D66 lost out in the cities, whether it can get any worse for Labour and who fared best of the newcomers, including Denk, the PVV and the Animal Rights Party. There’s also news of the ‘dragnet’ referendum, technological advances in football and death in the Oostvaardersplassen.
