What does this MP stand for?

Three questions for Stephan van Baarle. 

1. What drives you to serve as an MP? 

All people in the country should have equal opportunities. I cannot accept discrimination, nor can I accept that people have fewer opportunities simply because they grow up in poverty. 

2. What would you change about the Netherlands? 

I want every person here to be equal. That means ensuring that everyone is treated equally in practice. 

3. Who inspires you? 

My mother. She worked very hard to provide for us and to give me opportunities. I have huge respect for her and she taught me that you need to work hard to achieve anything.
