Centre-Left Netherlands
| ||||||||||||||
|
Center-Left Netherlands was a political party of the Netherlands. It was one of the new parties founded after the 3 month '1 party-policy' intended to counter PTO's. Its creation was the brainchild of the late JackRitell, an industrialist and philanthropist who was concerned about the homogenous nature of Dutch political discourse. By his design, CLN was committed to progessive politics and was oriented towards fostering an open, just and fair society for all citizens.
When Jack Ritell decided to leave the game, he entrusted the future of the party to well-known Dutch progessivist Pierre Delvaux. Delvaux represented CLN in the CP elections (August and September 2011), recruiting high profile new members such as NoTie112 and Shakerr, overseeing a rapid growth of members as well, reaching 86 members in Autumn 2011.
CLN was taken over by Shakerr and NoTie112, and renamed to The Dutch Progressives.
