 | | In 1938, Telders was appointed president of the Dutch liberal party of that time (Liberale Staatspartij), a forerunner of today’s VVD. |
 | | An interesting example of Telders’ political views is a speech on democracy and liberalism (‘Democratie en liberalisme’) that he gave in the same year he was appointed president of the Dutch liberal party (Liberale Staatspartij). |
 | | In this speech, Telders argued that the true fundamentals of democracy are supervision and the mirror image thereof, accountability. |
