The
People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), h ad fairly even results throughout the country. The party's strongholds appear to be in the suburban areas of the country's large cities, in cities like Wassenaar, the wealthiest municipality to this day in the Netherlands, next to The Hague. The areas where it got the least percentage of votes were rural Limburg, in North Limburg.
These are the results of the
Anti-Revolutionary Party (ARP), the largest of the two Christian democratic protestant parties, the other being the CHU. In 1967, the party obtained 9.9% of the vote and 15 seats (out of 150). By the 1960s, the ARP was the more socially liberal of the two Calvinist parties. By the late 60s and early 70s, the younger generations of the ARP were marked by a preference for governing with SDAP rather than the other confessional parties, for instance.
The ARP was the party of one of the two main Calvinist churches in the Netherlands at the time, "Reformed Churches in the Netherlands", from the 1892 merger of two churches that had split from the main church - the Dutch Reformed Church. Coincidentally, it was also the church that would give birth to the SGP Calvinist theocrats, although the would-be SGP members split off in 1918.
Its voter base was primarily concentrated in the northern provinces of Frisia and Groningen, as well as in Zeeland and to a lesser degree in the areas North Brabant that were a part of Holland during the Dutch Republic.
