Abstract
This special issue answers the question of whether council members of local political parties are ‘different’ in a number of respects from the elected representatives of non-local groups in Dutch municipal councils. In ‘being different’ we focus primarily on the politically relevant views of the office holders and sometimes also on their actions. In answering the questions, we mainly used data from the Basic Monitor of Political Office Holders 2019 (BPA-2019) as collected among office holders at municipalities (councillors, aldermen and mayors) between 23 September and 10 November 2019 on behalf of the University Twente (UT) and Tilburg University (TiU). This research was carried out with financial support from the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations.
