Culture belongs in every election manifesto. This was stated by Kunsten \u201992 in a election pamphlet<\/a> addressed to all political parties. Because: investing in culture is investing in our society, in our democracy, in our economy, in equal opportunities and in solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It now appears that all parties pay attention to art, culture, heritage and media in their election manifestos. Kunsten \u201992 has analysed the cultural and creative heart of political parties, provided insight and visualised it after the CPB's calculations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do political parties want to invest in or cut back on culture?<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The analysis of the election manifestos and the pass-through<\/a> by the Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis (CPB) show that several parties have included additional investments in culture and media in their election manifestos. A number of parties say they want to spend more money on culture and media, but do not say how much. And there are parties that want to cuts<\/em> on culture and media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Arts<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More or less to culture?<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The infographic of the Arts Federation<\/a> shows at a glance which parties do or do not want to invest in arts, culture, heritage and the creative sector. Kunsten \u201992 analysed the election manifestos content<\/em>. What is striking here is the distinction between parties that link culture, heritage and media to tradition, identity and regional distribution and parties that place culture in the context of democracy, inclusion, education and (media) freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The infographic and analyses make visible whether and how parties want to invest in culture and thus in the Netherlands.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
