True, but ocw is a position where you are expected to be " thrown under the bus", so unlikely to be one of their co-founders? I mean, even their education part in the election program is contradictory, e.g. toonaangevend in de wereld ⚡Nederlands als voertaal

Historians: anyone has suggestions for a book/articles on urban history of The Hague (20th C, in dutch or engl)? I learned from a friend yesterday that the population in The Hague was much larger during 1950s/1960s than today and about the NL housing policy during the postwar era. Any pointers? 🙏
