Het werk van verkenner Wouter Koolmees zit erop. Zoals verwacht houdt Yesilgöz haar poot stijf als het om GL-PvdA gaat. Maar regeren met de frikandelfascisten van FVD lijkt ze dan weer prima te vinden. Centrumlinks? Onverteerbaar. Extreemrechts? Valt over te praten. @simonvanteutem.bsky.social

The revolution will not be televised.
De verkiezingscampagne draaide om ‘tv, tv en nog eens tv’. Politici deden zo veel mogelijk mee aan debatten, talk- en spelshows. Wie kregen de meeste schermtijd, welke partij werd het vaakst besproken? En in hoeverre hebben ze daar zelf invloed op?
