AppèlWaarde(n)loze politiek - met Tom van der MeerOnze democratie heeft méér conflict nodig. Dat stelt politicoloog Tom van der Meer in zijn nieuwe boek Waardenloze politiek. Hierin beschrijft hij hoe een gebrek aan ideologisch, waardengedreven conflict bij politieke middenpartijen - zoals D66 - heeft geleid tot fors zetelverlies. Door 'technocratische no-nonsensepolitiek' zijn deze partijen ‘richtingloos en inwisselbaar geworden’, een ‘eenheidsworst’ zelfs. Geen wonder dat de kiezer vluchtte naar partijen op de flanken, zoals de PVV, schrijft Van der Meer.  In deze aflevering van Appèl gaan we met Tom van der Meer dieper in op het ontstaan van de huidige ‘waardenloze politiek’ bij d...
