Onafhankelijke Burger Partij
The Onafhankelijke Burger Partij (, OBP) is a political party in the Netherlands. It was founded by Hero Brinkman, a Member of the House of Representatives for the Party for Freedom (PVV). Brinkman left the PVV after repeatedly criticising the lack of democracy within that party, as well as its negative generalisations about certain groups in society. He then founded the OBP and intended it to participate in the Dutch general election of 2012; however, on June 9, 2012 he announced that the OBP was to merge with the party Trots op Nederland to form a new party, the Democratic Political Turning Point (, DPK). However, Trots op Nederland announced on November 17 that the merger of the OBP with the Trots would be reversed, because the Trots' management was unsatisfied with it.
