Earlier this month, parliamentary elections took place in the Netherlands. In the run up to the elections, many debates were held on national television. The Debatrix team of experts was frequently invited by the media to share their knowledge and insights. How do politicians debate? Which strategic choices does each make? And how do the politicians conduct themselves?

Lars Duursma and Victor Vlam had a 9-part series in the national newspaper nrc.next. In each installment they took an extended look at how a leader of a major party debates. What does he do well? How could he improve? Does he use any dirty tricks? The entire series is available online in Dutch in case you’d like to read it:

• Analysis #1: Alexander Pechtold
• Analysis #2: Rita Verdonk
• Analysis #3: Femke Halsema
• Analysis #4: André Rouvoet
• Analysis #5: Emile Roemer
• Analysis #6: Geert Wilders
• Analysis #7: Jan Peter Balkenende
• Analysis #8: Mark Rutte
• Analysis #9: Job Cohen

After each major election debate, the experts of Debatrix posted a first analysis of the debate online after about an hour of the close of the debate.

• Radio 1 Debat: Mark Rutte domineert eerste verkiezingsdebat (may 21)
• Premiersdebat: Cohen beheerst dynamiek van het debat onvoldoende (may 23)
• Carré Debat: Roemer verrast, anderen vallen in herhaling (may 26)
• EénVandaag Debat: lijsttrekkers spelen op safe in weinig memorabel debat (june 7)
• NOS lijsttrekkersdebat: lijsttrekkers verzuimen belang van deze verkiezingen uit te leggen (june 8)

Besides publishing their own analysis, the team of experts was often interviewed. In fact, the Dutch program EenVandaag watched us as we watched the election debate that they themselves had organised.
