Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Marijnissen's shoes are big to fill for anyone in terms of charisma. Kant is generally perceived as too sour. The bigger problem is that she can't convey a blue collar attitude, which Marijnissen excelled at, and which would be the only personal way to distinguish her party from the overly intellectual leadership of GroenLinks and the PvdA.

There's a lot of choice on the left! Even the Animal Party for those who feel that GroenLinks isn't a sufficiently particular issue party.

For the SP there's the option of campaigning as a party but there are too many intellectuals in the SP in general. So they're probably going to lose half their seats. 12 seats is still not a historically bad result for the party.
