In the run-up to the provincial elections in March, most political parties have already published an election programme. Few people have the time and inclination to go through all those programs. We took the trouble for you and found these five remarkable points.
1. ‘Carnival must be banned’
Jesus Lives uses the Bible as a guideline for its election programs. The celebration of carnival does not fit with a Biblical way of life. “We do not believe that as a government you should facilitate people to party wildly,” the party says. “Celebrating carnival does not fit with the Biblical principles that we want to propagate.”
2. ‘More space for campers’
The SP wants more overnight places for campers. In the program, the party writes that this can also be a possible revenue model for farmers who are stopping. Municipalities and the province must therefore provide information to farmers about starting camper garages and camper pitches.
3. ‘Abolish dog tax for the elderly’
Because pets prevent loneliness, the elderly party 50PLUS believes that the dog tax for the elderly should be abolished. The party also advocates a contribution to the bill at the vet. Incidentally, the province is not about the dog tax, which is determined by the municipalities themselves.
4. ‘Involving artists in major issues’
In addition to experts and stakeholders, GroenLinks also wants to involve artists in major social problems. The party hopes to come up with creative solutions for, for example, the shortage of housing and the declining number of animal and plant species.
5. ‘A fence around Brabant against wolves’
The wolf and what to do with him is still a hot topic for political parties. Where one prefers to give him space, the other prefers to shoot the animal immediately. Jesus Lives comes up with a creative solution: a fence around Brabant, so that the wolf cannot enter the province. What we should do if there is a wolf in Brabant, who can no longer get out through the fence, is not in the party program of Jesus Lives.
