Results DWARS member referendum left-wing cooperation

The results of the DWARSe Member Referendum on left-wing cooperation are in. Over the past week, every DWARSer had the chance to express their views on 9 propositions about GroenLinks's left-wing cooperation with the PvdA and other parties, at both national and local levels. Through this member referendum, DWARS now has a good idea of its members' views.

The member referendum will be used by DWARS to advise on GroenLinks's member referendum and provide future advice and direction to GroenLinks when it comes to left-wing cooperation. It also gives the next DWARS board a better handle of DWARS members' opinions around this issue.

For the membership referendum, there were a total of 5418 voters and on average, there was a turnout percentage of 13.13%. People were not required to vote for every proposition, so the turnout percentage also varies by proposition.
