‘Het parlement van binnenuit onderuit halen’ Een onderzoek naar het gedrag van de Partij voor de Vrijheid in het Europees Parlement

Master thesis | Political Science (MSc)

In this thesis the behaviour of the Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) of the Dutch Freedom Party is examined. The research question is: How can the behaviour of the MEPs of the Dutch Freedom Party be characterized? The behaviour of the MEPs of the Freedom Party is researched through the use of role theory. There are many different typologies concerning the roles of members of national parliaments, MEPs and eurosceptic MEPs which are discussed in this thesis. It is then researched which of these roles are applicable to the behaviour of the MEPs of the Freedom Party. The parliamentary activities (written questions, motions for resolutions, speeches in the plenary, attendance to plenary) of the MEPs of the Freedom Party are covered and two MEPs (Barry Madlener and Auke Zijlstra) of the Freedom Party were asked a number of questions about their behaviour in the European Parliament.
