The VVD (Volkspartij voor Vrijheid en Democratie | People's Party for Freedom and Democracy) is a Dutch liberal centre-right party, which delivered the longest serving prime minister Mark Rutte. Their target audience are middle-class citizens and small businesses. Key views are a strong economy, tough stance on security and migration, and a strong importance of individual freedoms and values.
Where party congresses of other parties end with divisiveness and grudges, the VVD party congresses end with beer and bitterballen.

The longest serving prime minister of the Netherlands and the leader of the centre-right party VVD. He is known for riding his bicycle to work, his endless optimistic appearances and incidental selective memory on cabinet meetings. The fact that occasional scandals surrounding the administrations he presided never seem to stick to him, earned him the nickname 'Teflon Mark.' A famous quote from him is "I have no active memory of that", when he was questioned by parliament about a leaked document in which his interim-administration planned to promote away a critical member of parliament. Rutte is unmarried with no kids, and is known to live a sober and simple personal life. He teaches social studies for one day in the week at a secondary school, plays the piano in his free time, and is a fervent enthusiast of the Swedish car brand Saab.
