Fortunate Connections
In his political manifesto, Eelco Keij seeks to build a bridge between the politicians in The Netherlands and the sizable Dutch electorate abroad.

Based on his research of extensive resources, the author offers suggestions and recommendations directed at the political parties in The Hague.
