Party for the Animals

The Party for the Animals ((オランダ語:Partij voor de Dieren); PvdD) is a political party in the Netherlands.
Among its main goals are animal rights and animal welfare, though it claims not to be a single-issue party. The party does consider itself to be a testimonial party, which does not seek to gain political power, but only to testify to its beliefs and thereby influence other parties.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Vijf jaar Partij voor de Dieren in Nederlands parlement ) (note: testimonial party is 'getuigenispartij' in Dutch)〕
Its chairwoman and political leader is Marianne Thieme.
At the moment the Party for the Animals holds 2 of the 150 seats in the House of Representatives and 1 of the 75 seats in the Senate.
In the House of Representatives Marianne Thieme and Esther Ouwehand represent the PvdD since November 30, 2006, whereas Niko Koffeman represents it in the Senate since June 12, 2007. In the 2014 European Parliament elections, the party gained a representative in the European Parliament, Anja Hazekamp.
== History ==
The Party for the Animals was founded in October 2002 by Marianne Thieme, among others.
In the Dutch general election of 2003 it gained 50,000 votes (0.5%), but not a seat in the House of Representatives.
In the 2004 European Parliament election the party gained 153,000 votes (3.2%), three times as much as in the 2002 Dutch general election. Still the number of votes was not enough to obtain a seat in the European Parliament.
During the 2006 parliamentary elections it gained 179,988 votes (1.8%), enough for two seats in Dutch parliament. In the run-up to these elections the party was supported by several Dutch celebrities, such as writers Maarten 't Hart and Jan Wolkers.
In its first municipal council elections the party in 2010 gained one seat in every of the five places, where it participated.
In its third parliamentary elections, on June 9 in 2010, the PvdD retained its two seats in the House of Representatives with 122,317 votes (1.3%). In the 2012 general elections the party got 182,162 votes, an increase of 45%, but with just under 2% of the popular vote this did not secure a third seat in the House of Representatives.
