D66 was formed in 1966 by a group of politically unaligned, young intellectuals, led by journalist Hans van Mierlo. The party's main objective was to democratise the political system; it proposed to create an American style presidential system. In the 1967 general election, the party won 7 of the 150 seats in the House of Representatives; no new party had ever gained that many seats before. The electoral history of the party is characterised by large fluctuations. At one point they had 24 seats, currently (following the September 2012 Parliamentary elections) they have 12. The party was in government from 1973-1977, 1981-1982, 1994-2002 and 2003-2006. Over time the party began to emphasise other issues in addition to democratic reform, creating a social-liberal programme. Currently the party is represented by twelve seats in the House of Representatives, five in the Senate and four in the European Parliament. The party leader, and Parliamentary leader, is Alexander Pechtold. The party is in opposition against the Second Rutte cabinet. The party has a growing number of elected local and provincial politicians, but supplies a relatively large share of the mayors, which are appointed. The party's voters are concentrated in larger cities, especially those with a university degree, and towns with an above average number of wealthy citizens. The organisation of D66 is based on principles of direct democracy.〔https://www.d66.nl/d66nl/item/directe_democratie〕 Important decisions are made per referendum. D66 is a member of the Liberal International and the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE). ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Democrats 66」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
