Farmers' Party (Netherlands)
The Farmers' Party (, BP) was a Dutch agrarian political party, with a strong conservative outlook and a populist appeal. The BP was the first anti-establishment party elected into the Dutch House of Representatives after the Second World War. The BP was founded by Hendrik Koekoek. The party gained prominence in several Gelderland municipalities under the "Free Farmers" lists. The BP officially applied to participate in the 1959 elections, focusing on issues such as government intervention in farming and promoting political and economic freedom. In the 1963 elections, the BP won three seats in the House of Representatives, followed by two seats in the Senate in 1966. However, internal struggles and leadership issues led to the party's decline. In the 1981 elections, the BP was renamed the Right-wing People's Party but failed to win a seat. The BP drew support from farmers and small business owners, both rural and urban. Comparisons can be made to Eastern European farmers' partie ...

Schutzstaffel
The ''Schutzstaffel'' (; ; SS; also stylised with SS runes as ''ᛋᛋ'') was a major paramilitary organisation under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in Nazi Germany, and later throughout German-occupied Europe during World War II. It began with a small guard unit known as the ''Saal-Schutz'' ("Hall Security") made up of party volunteers to provide security for party meetings in Munich. In 1925, Heinrich Himmler joined the unit, which had by then been reformed and given its final name. Under his direction (1929–1945) it grew from a small paramilitary formation during the Weimar Republic to one of the most powerful organisations in Nazi Germany. From the time of the Nazi Party's rise to power until the regime's collapse in 1945, the SS was the foremost agency of security, mass surveillance, and state terrorism within Germany and German-occupied Europe. The two main constituent groups were the '' Allgemeine SS'' (General SS) and ''Waffen-SS'' (Armed SS). The ''Allgemeine ...

Senate Of The Netherlands
The Senate ( , literally "First Chamber of the States General", or simply ; sometimes ) is the upper house of the States General, the legislature of the Netherlands. Its 75 members are elected on lists by the members of the twelve States-Provincial and four electoral colleges for the Senate every four years, within three months of the provincial elections. All provinces and colleges have different electoral weight depending on their population.

They receive an allowance which is about a quarter of the salary of the members of the lower house. Unlike the politically more significant House of Representatives, it meets only once a week. It has the right to accept or reject legislative proposals but not to amend them or to initiate legislation. Directly after a bill has been passed by the House of Representatives, it is sent to the Senate and is submitted to a parlia ...

1963 Dutch Farmers' Revolt
The 1963 Dutch farmers' revolt () in Hollandscheveld, the Netherlands, was a rebellion led by Dutch farmer and politician Hendrik Koekoek against the Landbouwschap over the eviction of three farmer families. The rebellion was also referred to as the Revolt of the Braves (). In March 1963, three farmer families were evicted from their farms by order of the Landbouwschap because they had refused on principle to pay agricultural levies and because they lived on the farms illegally, as these were owned by the Landbouwschap. Thousands of so-called "Free Farmers" () from all over the Netherlands—followers of Koekoek—went to Hollandscheveld to try to prevent the eviction. The government set up a ''force majeure'' of more than 200 helmeted and armed police officers to keep the demonstrating farmers away from the places where the debt collector did his work. Riots ensued. The police drove the people away from the farms with tear gas and batons. One of the evacuated farms went up in fl ...
