New populist nationalist anti-immigration party leads in Dutch parliament race

Polls for the parliamentary election to be held Nov.22 are showing a party only organized last August and running in its first election as the most popular with Dutch voters. The party is the populist / nationalist anti-immigration New Social Contract, and it's leader Pieter Omtzigt is also polling as the most popular politician among Dutch voters.

New Social Contact has pulled ahead of other better established parties of the populist nationalist anti-immigration rignt such as the Party for Freedom and the Forum for Democracy, as well as the new Farmer Citizen Alliance that resoundingly won the Dutch Senate elections earlier this year. All of those parties are also expected to win significant numbers of seats but polls show New Social Contract as the top party of all Dutch parties across the spectrum..

Omtzigt entered politics with the center-right Christian Democratic Appeal party and rose to leadership there, but got pushback on some of his anti-imigration and pro-sovereignty stands, so he left and founded his own party. He rose to prominence in Dutch politics for his leadership role in uncovering a major social services scandal a few years ago.

New Social Contract calls for a strict limit of 50,000 immigrants, including both legal immigrants and asylum seekers combined, far below the current inflow. It also calls for the Netherlands asserting its sovereignty and opting out of European Union policies with which it does not agree. It is dead set against "an ever closer union" in the EU and wants to strengthen the sovereign rights of nation-states.

The traditional conservative party in the Netherlands, the VVD, has developed a globalist tilt under its recently departed leader Mark Rutte. It was the collapse of Rutte's coalition and his ouster as Prime Minister that led to this snap election for the lower house of the Dutch parliament.
