Dutch Parliament (Tweede Kamer)

The Dutch Parliament’s Tweede Kamer, or House of Representatives, is the main legislative body in the Netherlands. Comprising 150 elected members, it debates laws, scrutinizes the government, and shapes national policy. Members are elected every four years through proportional representation, reflecting the country’s political diversity. The Tweede Kamer has the power to propose, amend, and approve legislation, and it holds the government accountable through question sessions and investigations. It operates alongside the Eerste Kamer (Senate), forming the legislative branch responsible for shaping the country’s laws and policies within the wider parliamentary system.
