Het regeerakkoord van het kabinet Rutte-IV opent met een aantal pagina’s over het functioneren van de parlementaire democratie. Het nieuwe kabinet wil de democratische rechtsorde versterken, de vertrouwensrelatie tussen burger en overheid herstellen, de controlerende en wetgevende rol van de Tweede Kamer vergroten, een transparante overheid creëren, en nog veel meer.
We gaan deze mooie beloftes ontleden met Tom Louwerse (Universiteit Leiden) en Tom van der Meer (Universiteit van Amsterdam).
U kunt beide heren volgen via Twitter: @tomlouwerse en @tomwgvdmeer.

Let’s talk German elections! The SPD narrowly beat the CDU/CSU in their first Merkel-less election in 16 years. Meanwhile, the Greens and FDP also gained ground, as both parties can now join forces as ‘kingmakers’ in the upcoming coalition negotiations with Olaf Scholz (SPD) or Armin Laschet (CDU/CSU).
Who better to help us understand the elections results than Tarik Abou-Chadi, Associate Professor in European Union and Comparative European Politics at the University of Oxford. We talk about voting patterns, demographics, the outdated electoral system, Merkel’s legacy and much more.
Make sure to check out Tarik’s excellent podcast series The Transformation of European Politics. Follow Tarik on Twitter via @tabouchadi.
