Everything about Reiderland totally explained
Reiderland is a
municipality in the province Groningen in the northeastern
Netherlands, which was founded in 1990 during a large municipal reorganization. The former municipalities
Finsterwolde and Nieuweschans were abolished and added to
Beerta. In 1992, the new municipality was given its current name.
It is one of the only four municipalities in the Netherlands that have
communist councillors (the other three are

Scheemda and
Lemsterland). In the 2002 municipal elections the
New Communist Party of the Netherlands became the largest party in Reiderland (44%) with five council members of thirteen. Since the NCPN was the largest faction in the council, the party also had members Court of Mayor and the Aldermen, together with a local party.
In the
2006 elections NCPN lost 3 of their 5 seats (2 to
PvdA and 1 to
SP). In total NCPN got 18.3% of the votes.
