Stemhok

Submitted by boon on 20 April 2010 - 6:03pm

Stemhok covers the national elections in the Netherlands with satirical content. The website www.stemhok.nl is active whenever the Dutch parliament, named Tweede Kamer, is re-elected. Stemhok started in 2001 when members of the stemhok editorial staff where inspired by the exploding political landscape in the Netherlands with rightwing fundamentalists, left wing extremists and lousy couch potatoes in the middle started to take shape. We haven't stopped laughing since ...

Every time Stemhok surfaces the website gets an new makeover and a new voting adviser tool (a 'Stemwijzer' in Dutch) containing 20 silly questions that about 100.000 people answer (mostly on the day of the elections) and which leads to an advise from Stemhok which party to vote for. The general reaction of people after reading their advise:"How did they ever come to advise me just the party I always vote for or the one I was actually thinking about voting for this time ... with such a load of bullshit questions. Thanks for the helpfull advise Stemhok!".
