Reinder Rustema – a.o. ex-Mediamatic, and the former user of the garage-box of my former appartment in return for me reading his NRC, and a very nice person – is a candidate for the European election of June 4th, for the Newropeans, a pro-Europe party: http://www.newropeans2009.com/Nederland/.

See also his own website: http://rustema.nl/ and blog: http://www.newropeans2009.com/reinder_rustema/ — from where you can find the Facebook-stuff too.

He of course is asking if I’d vote for him. We had a few interesting discussions about politics in the past.

I tried the ‘stemwijzer’: http://www.stemwijzer.nl/
(with all the stupid questions about animals), and guess which party came up first?

The Newropeans.

(still, I think I’ll vote again for the same party I voted for the last 3 or so times.)

But this result is enough reason for me to put in this little effort to make Reinder’s party more known. Take a look at their program, they have good points.
