Residents of Twente, Netherlands, are expressing disappointment with the New Social Contract (NSC) party following recent political developments. This sentiment is particularly strong among voters in Borne who supported local Pieter Omtzigt in the 2023 elections.

Many feel that the NSC has failed to deliver on key promises, such as electoral reform and increased transparency. This perceived lack of progress, coupled with Omtzigt’s departure, has led to disillusionment.

Some voters are now considering alternative parties. The CDA, led by Henri Bontenbal, is gaining traction as a more appealing and stable option for some.

Others remain committed to the VVD, driven by a desire to prevent a victory by the PvdA-GroenLinks alliance.

While some non-NSC voters express skepticism about Omtzigt’s leadership from the outset, others are hoping for a stronger performance from Geert Wilders’ PVV.
