Revitalizing Democracy: Building Trust in the Dutch Legal System
After the aftermath of the devastating earthquake damages in Groningen and the child care allowance scandal, the need for renewal within the Dutch rule of law has become more evident than ever. As we contemplate what has gone wrong and where we need to intervene, it is important to address the issues of decreasing trust in politicians and the growing number of non-voters. While experts, politicians, and a state commission have proposed improvements such as direct democracy through referendums and the election of mayors or cabinet formateurs, two crucial aspects have remained overlooked: the many non-voters and the behavior of politicians.
This book offers an introduction to the concept of democracy, delving into the history of our parliamentary system, including criticisms and proposed reforms. It then examines the challenging daily practices of our politics. Central to this exploration is a groundbreaking proposal for modernizing the Dutch democracy, which aims to structurally enhance the constitutionally required proportionate representation and strengthen the legitimacy of our democratic system.
