VVD and CDA are on the ballot paper in every Utrecht municipality. This does not apply to any national party. BIJ1, the Pirate Party, Volt and Forum for Democracy, for example, only see opportunities in Utrecht. A number of former SP members are running for election in Utrecht as the Socialists, a national movement that was founded after a quarrel arose within the SP. Furthermore, you will only find this new party in Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
