Dutch withdrawal from the European Union

Dutch withdrawal from the European Union (colloquially "Nexit", a term composed of "Netherlands" and "exit") refers to a desire by a group of people for Netherlands to leave the European Union.[1]

Political initiatives

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte called the possibility of a referendum "utterly irresponsible" and dangerous to the country.[1] Political parties advocating a referendum on European Union membership are the right-wing populist[2][3] Party for Freedom, Forum for Democracy,[4] as well as the Libertarian Party and 50PLUS.[5]
