This thesis concerns the international contacts of the Centrumdemocraten and how the leader of the radical right party influenced the international contacts. I thought of the topic due to my interest in political leadership and the radical right. I had read a lot about the international contacts of the current day radical right and was wondering if the radical right formed a transnational network in the past. This precise topic was not one I had looked into during my bachelor’s and master’s degree. I did study a wide breadth of topics.

However political leadership and the radical right have been the most interesting topics to me.

DE CENTRUMPARTIJ
Center democrats or democratic centralist?
The Centre Party has opted for a more militant course where party discipline is called a prerequisite. In the recent power struggle by both the moderate and the radical wing has used many (on)actual arguments in order the
opposition to disable.
Developments within the CP appear reached a crucial stage regarding whether or not further antidemocratic opsteIling.
