Most parties high in the polls for the November 22 elections oppose a total ban on fireworks. GroenLinks-PvdA is the only party in the top five of the Peilingwijzer that supports replacing consumer fireworks with, for example, professional fireworks shows. The popular newcomer party NSC from Pieter Omtzigt opposes a ban, favoring better enforcement of current rules, a spokesperson said. VVD, PVV, and BBB have long been outspoken opponents.
