Tim Hofman – #ANGRY Polertiek
Not really a campaign, but it does belong in this list. 'Polertiek' is part of the YouTube channel #BOOS . It makes politics understandable for young people and wants to get more young people to the polls. Polertiek started broadcasting at the end of 2016, well in time for the election period. In each episode, Tim takes a guest to the House of Representatives to discuss the subject that person is angry about with a politician. Tim completely succeeds in turning political talk into understandable YouTube content. Completely in his own style, by the way, the explanations in between and inserts during the videos are completely insane. That makes it even more fun. If you are not yet familiar with #BOOS, watch the video below. It is worth it.


In addition to the regular episodes of Polertiek, an app has also been built. In this app you can check which party makes you the least angry, in other words: who you should vote for. The most important positions of parties can be found there, there is a built-in poll option where opinions of followers are collected and there is Broccoli (see for yourself)! Lots of food for the fans in this app.


You can hardly have missed this one. Arjen Lubach has no hospitals email list trouble at all in his program Zondag met Lubach to figuratively finish off political leaders. He must have thought so too when this app was invented. In the meantime, more Kamergotchis have died than there were victims during the battle of Waterloo. A real political battlefield…

The Kamergotchi is derived from, how could it be otherwise, the Tamagotchi. The immensely popular digital pet that you could hang on your key ring, and then take it with you everywhere. Until fate struck and you forgot your Tamagotchi. Then it died and you had to start over. Just like with your own party leader!

If we take the Kamergotchi app as a starting point, Geert Wilders will be the new prime minister. He has been taken care of very well. Is that because we really like him so much? No, I think it is more because we find it funnier when Geert says: "I feel like mini-frikadelletjes" than when it is said by Henk Krol, for example.

Although this app adds little to our knowledge of parties or does anything in terms of information, the numbers are very impressive. The game was downloaded more than 750 thousand times. Below is the video with the results.
