Invitation to Council Members

automatic translation:

Are you known to your residents as a city councilor? Do they know about your plans and ideas? OpinionFirst gives municipal councilors the opportunity to make proposals, ideas, and views immediately known. Not only during municipal elections but at any time you can inform your residents. For example, today you can post the main topics of your party program for free on OpinionFirst.

You know better than anyone how important it is that residents are going to vote right now. More and more responsibilities are being delegated to you, as a municipality and the residents depend on their municipality for more and more things.

In your municipality, you are probably working on a daily basis to clearly communicate the views of your party in order to gain support and support. As a counselor, you are close to the residents and your proposals, initiatives, and recommendations deserve their full attention.

Profiling your ideas is faster via OpinionFirst. On this modern platform, you can bring opinions and recommendations directly to the attention of residents of your municipality.

If you have not yet had the opportunity to use OpinionFirst, we recommend that you do not miss your opportunity. Post your proposals today.


“TNS Nipo: The popularity of municipal politics is at an all-time low. Only 42 percent of voters are already certain that they will vote in municipal elections.” “Radio 1 interview with resident municipality: I want to vote as long as it is clear what I am voting for”


In addition, OpinionFirst gives you a face as a municipal councilor and offers you the opportunity to present your plans to your residents democratically and constructively. Everyone can immediately see which opinions, plans, and proposals you prefer. You can of course directly promote your opinions and those of your party via Facebook, Twitter, … and other modern social media.

This invitation reaches a selected number of municipal councilors. Because OpinionFirst is available for every municipality, we warmly invite you to forward this invitation to your colleagues in other municipalities so that they too can benefit from it for the municipal elections.

Don’t wait any longer and post your proposals and ideas on OpinionFirst.

We wish you inspiration and good luck,

Sincerely,
The DemocracyFirst Team

Invitation to Municipalities!

 Invitation to Municipalities

OpinionFirst is the new online platform for modern democracy in the Netherlands. The platform is fully available for democracy in every municipality.

OpinionFirst is expected to have a major influence on politics and the elections in March. City councilors can receive direct support and feedback for their proposals, plans, and recommendations. But residents themselves can also use this platform to present their ideas.

Every municipality

There is an OpinionFirst website for every municipality in the Netherlands. Many municipal councilors have recently been invited to make their proposals, initiatives, and recommendations available on OpinionFirst. Not everyone has been reached yet, but it is easy for every resident to send an invitation to his or her favorite town councilor via OpinionFirst.

OpinionFirst gives every resident of every municipality in the Netherlands the opportunity to indicate a preference for opinions of municipal councilors (opinion leaders) so that every resident can show how he or she thinks about important topics in a municipality. Everyone can vote directly for opinions, initiatives, and solutions. In this way, every resident can easily participate and indicate what this should look like in his or her municipality. As a result, politicians and policymakers are constantly told by residents what they want. It is therefore expected that OpinionFirst can have a major influence on politics and make the elections more transparent for residents.

Not just city councilors

Experts in various fields and concerned residents can also post their proposals, arguments, and recommendations on OpinionFirst. And the residents of the municipality concerned can also comment on this. Residents know better than anyone where the possibilities of a municipality lie and can form an excellent breeding ground for new initiatives that can be taken up again by the municipal councilors. Modern democracy as it should be.

Voting increasingly difficult

We are used to voting at the local level once every four years. Then we have to vote for one party or a combination of plans or ideas with which we often only partially agree. People know less and less what to vote for. They choose the least bad solution or don’t vote. If someone has finally been able to make a choice, the practice has shown that political promises can be difficult to fulfill, which means that voters are always disappointed afterward.

Everyone involved

We thought with a team of people that this should have been possible. After years of hard work and many tests, OpinionFirst has now been launched for every municipality. OpinionFirst is the platform that makes it possible for every resident to be involved and to influence decisions at any time with optimum freedom of choice!

The OpinionFirst website offers very extensive options for bringing opinions, initiatives, plans, solutions, articles, statements and opinion polls to the attention of all residents. City councilors and residents post opinions to win votes, publish their views to give depth to discussions in the Netherlands and distribute them via social media and other media. OpinionFirst is exciting and offers great new opportunities for people with ideas and opinions. All information can be found extensively on www.opinionfirst.nl.

OpinionFirst is an initiative of the DemocracyFirst foundation.(www.democracyfirst.nl).

OpinionFirst is a new online platform for making decisions together. The platform for modern democracy is also suitable for your neighborhood, place of residence, province, Europe and even worldwide.

This makes world democracy available to everyone for the first time in history. OpinionFirst is launched in Dutch and English and can quickly be made suitable for any other language or country. OpinionFirst is expected to have a major influence on politics.

OpinionFirst gives the opportunity to vote on opinions and opinion leaders so that every Dutch person can show how he or she thinks about important topics in the Netherlands. OpinionFirst does not ask people to make a global (left, right or middle) choice for a political party. Everyone can simply vote directly for preferred opinions, initiatives, and solutions. Everyone can participate and indicate what the Netherlands should look like. Every citizen can, therefore, indicate what should happen. As a result, politicians and policymakers are constantly told by citizens what they exactly want. It is therefore expected that OpinionFirst will have a major influence on politics.

Voting increasingly difficult

We are used to voting at the local, provincial and national level once every four years. A combination of plans or ideas must be voted on with which many people generally only partially agree. People know less and less what to vote for. They choose the least bad solution or don’t vote. If someone has finally been able to make a choice, the practice has shown that political promises can be difficult to fulfill, which means that voters are always disappointed afterward.

Everyone involved

A team of people thought that this could also be done differently. After years of hard work and many tests, OpinionFirst is now being launched. OpinionFirst is the platform that makes it possible for every citizen to be involved and to exercise influence on decisions at all times with optimum freedom of choice! The OpinionFirst website offers very extensive options for bringing opinions, initiatives, plans, solutions, articles, propositions and opinion polls to the attention of all citizens. Citizens post opinions to win votes, publish their views to give depth to discussions in the Netherlands and distribute them via social media and other media. OpinionFirst is exciting and offers great new opportunities for people with ideas and opinions. All information can be found extensively on www.opinionfirst.com.

Invitation

The design of our websites is constantly updated, the interaction is further optimized and all planned functionality is implemented. We are really very proud of the result and this is partly due to the involvement of the OpinionFirst users.

Once again, thank you so much! Only through your feedback does it become clear what it took to turn OpinionFirst into a great website!

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social media all have their own central theme. For OpinionFirst, this is “Modern Democracy”; summarized as voting on opinions on various topics in society. The topics relate to your neighborhood, place of residence, province, country, Europe or even the world. The more people cast their vote and participate, the more the opinions of citizens will gain weight on the decisions that are made. Read on “More about OpinionFirst” and “About OpinionFirst” what the arguments are for starting OpinionFirst.

Re-arrange your registration or register yourself, and try out all the possibilities. There is more functionality available than you think. Start a topic in your hometown, or if you are committed to something, take on the challenge of becoming an opinion leader and gaining votes for your ideas! Be sure to invite your other friends to vote and participate on the website via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn. You can also invite a politician or policymaker that you admire to share his or her opinions.

Give this initiative a big boost. The website is completely new and will now have to prove itself in practice. Never hesitate to give your feedback again and again in any area! All support is really more than welcome and every designation has proved very valuable. Be sure to immediately report things that are not good. With a successful OpinionFirst, we leave the world a little better than we found it. Thanks again for your contribution !!!
