	Leefbaar Rotterdam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leefbaar Rotterdam (Livable Rotterdam) is a political party in the large Dutch city of Rotterdam.
		It won the council elections of March 2002 due to the charismatic leadership of Pim Fortuyn.
		Leefbaar Rotterdam started as a spin-off of the national party Leefbaar Nederland but is commonly seen as the local party of the LPF (Lijst Pim Fortuyn), the national party of Pim Fortuyn which was founded just after Pim Fortuyn was fired as "Lijsttrekker" of the Leefbaar Nederland party in spring 2002.

	Selmer: The Pim Fortuyn assassination
		Leefbaar Nederland was a new political party inspired by local "livable parties" being succesful.
		In February, while Leefbaar Nederland was already getting lots of votes in the polls (15 out of a possible 150 seats in parliament were predicted), Pim Fortuyn gave an unfortunate interview in "de Volkskrant", a Dutch newspaper.
		For the people who are wondering what happened with Leefbaar Nederland, the party continued but as soon as they fired Pim Fortuyn, the polls showed a great decline, the last polls showed they'd get between 3 and 5 seats.

		Leefbaar Rotterdam advocates strong measures to fight crime and to enforce integration of immigrants in order to restore the cultural balance in the city.
		The leadership of Leefbaar Nederland regarded this as the last straw, and Fortuyn was quickly dismissed from the party.
		Leefbaar Rotterdam is a signal, and politicians need to realize how serious this signal is,” he said.

		Also the idea for a national Leefbaar party came up and on 7/3/99 was a fact, but it wasn't until 10/6/01 that the founders started to think of a program and not before 25/11/01 before a list of candidates was selected.
		With Fortuyn in their ranks Leefbaar Nederland was rising in the polls like a rocket, even upto levels making the other politicians very nervous.
		But then there was a major collision with Leefbaar Nederland when Fortuyn grew in his populism and started to ignore the party's program for his own popularity.

	Sorrow of the Netherlands: Pim Fortuyn
		After the success of such Leefbaar parties in some bigger cities in the mid-1990s, an initiative was made to try to bundle this locally dispersed force into a national Leefbaar Nederland party.
		Selecting Fortuyn as party leader of Leefbaar Nederland meant a secure ticket to a lot of media exposure; it was the fastest and cheapest way to reach a mass audience.
		The leadership of the Leefbaar Nederland party was aware of Fortuyn's 'soloist' tendencies, and the possible incompatibility of his views with part of its membership.

	Telegraph \| News \| Pim Fortuyn
		PIM FORTUYN, who has been murdered at Hilversum aged 54, was a flamboyant, shaven-headed, gay, former Marxist professor of sociology who attracted considerable support in his home country for a political programme which rejected multi-culturalism, socialism, and Muslim immigration.
		Recent polls suggested that his Leefbaar ("Liveable") Rotterdam movement, which took 17 of 45 seats in the city's elections in March, might gain around 20 per cent of the vote in national elections on May 15.
		In a nation where debate is generally conducted by consensus among bland Centre-Left liberals, Fortuyn - once voted the best-dressed man in Holland by Esquire magazine - adopted a deliberately controversial, mincing stance.

		Had he lived, it is quite possible that he could have ended up either as the leader of the opposition, or kingmaker in a new centre-right government.
		It was only last November that Fortuyn became leader of the small, supposedly radical Leefbaar (liveable) Nederland party.
		But his relationship with Leefbaar Nederland was to be shortlived; in February, he was ejected for suggesting that the Dutch constitution's article one, banning discrimination, should be changed.

		Though the cabinets of Wim Kok have been quite successful in certain areas, after the collapse of purple due to the NIOD (Nederlands Instituut voor Oorlogsdocumentatie; Dutch Institute for War Documentation) report into the fall of Srebrenica in 1995, politicians of all three parties turned away from the achievements of purple.
		The Dutch people were notably discontent at that time, partly because of the seeming lack of responsibility taken by the purple cabinets over the previous eight years, and partly because of a declining economy.
		Pim Fortuyn and Leefbaar Nederland made good use of criticizing the moral decline of the Netherlands during Kok I and Kok II.
