Several smaller leftwing parties were able to improve their electoral positions in the past decade. ... One such party is the Dutch Socialist Party ..., which has its origins in Marxism–Leninism and Maoisim, but which has moderated its ideology towards democratic socialism.
A new challenger seeks to enter the German party system: Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW). With her new party, former Die Linke politician Sahra Wagenknecht combines a left-authoritarian profile (economically left-leaning, but culturally conservative) with anti-US, pro-Russia and antielitist stances. [...] Parties with a similar profile exist in other countries (e.g. the Dutch Socialist Party).
Tweede Kamerleden ontvangen van het parlement een politieke vergoeding van ongeveer 7000 euro netto per maand. SP-Tweede Kamerleden dragen dat aan de partij af en krijgen van de partij ter compensatie van hun inzet daarvoor in ruil een bedrag van 3.276 euro per maand terug. Dat geldt ook voor wethouders en Gedeputeerden.[Lower House members receive from parliament a political allowance of about 7,000 euros net per month. SP Lower House members remit that to the party and receive a sum of 3,276 euros per month from the party in return for their efforts. The same applies to aldermen and deputies.]
The Dutch Socialist party (SP) campaigned on an "old left" platform combining traditional leftwing economic positions, for example on healthcare, with demands for a temporary stop on migrant workers and a popular leader, Lilian Marijnissen, attacking "identity politics". But it lost yet again, while the (combined) far right won a postwar record number of votes. In some countries this "leftwing conservative" approach has led to a fall in far-right support: for example, it benefited the Danish Social Democrats.
