Frisian National Party - Representation

Representation

Since 1995 the party cooperated with several provincial parties and the Greens in the Independent Senate Fraction which had one seat in the Senate. Since 2003 this seat is taken by Hendrik ten Hoeve, a member of the FNP.

The party has five (out of 43) seats in the Frisian provincial legislative. It entered in the formation talks of a new provincial government, but chose to remain an opposition party.

The party has 62 members in 20 of the 31 Frisian local legislatives. It cooperates in the local executive of Wymbritseradiel, Gaasterlân-Sleat, Skarsterlân 2x, Tytsjerksteradiel, Ferwerderadiel, Littenseradiel, Achtkarspelen, Leeuwarderadeel and Dongeradeel. In Wûnseradiel the party supplies the mayor.

On the European level, the party is a member of the European Free Alliance, although it has no seats in the European Parliament.
