PolitiekPraat
Dutch politics in plain language, running since 2022. Four public tools sit under the explainers: a party comparison, a compass, a voting tracker and a local voting guide for Ede.

I LOOKCLOSER.
I am Naoufal. I write about politics and build digital ways to make sense of it.

A little about me
Between the news and the editor.
I am Naoufal, 21, from Ede. I study European Studies in The Hague, write about politics and build digital projects. They may look like three separate things. To me, each begins with the same question: does it actually hold up?

It starts with
a question.
Why does something work this way, and for whom?
02 / 03
Then I trace it to
the source.
A vote, a number or the rule behind a decision.
03 / 03
And then I build
an answer.
An explanation, a tool or a website you can use yourself.
Selected work
What I make.
No imaginary case studies. These are projects you can open, read and use.

PolitiekProfiel
A political quiz that puts you on five axes instead of the usual left-right line. Fifteen statements free, eighty in the long version. No account, the result is a link.
ProvinciePeil
A voting guide for the Dutch provincial elections of March 2027, twelve provinces with their own questions. Sixteen parties profiled, ten provincial dossiers, five rejected designs before this one.
Outside the code
2022 / 2026My work is public. So is my curiosity.
I started PolitiekPraat in 2022 because I was missing explanations that did not assume I already knew ten other terms. I still write most of it myself, alongside a degree about Europe and the web work of my own studio.
Politics. Technology. Public information. I keep moving between those worlds because the best ideas tend to start where they meet.
More about meWhere the week happens
Three places. Far too many tabs.
Most days start in Ede. It is where I come back to, and where I notice the questions I do not want to leave alone.
European Studies means The Hague. A city full of institutions, trains I run for, and enough policy language to make clear writing necessary.
Then there is the browser. That is where a loose question becomes an article, a tool or a site I keep adjusting after it is technically finished.
