"Have political government communication tested by judge"

The Dutch government campaign for a European Constitution in 2005 was unconstitutional, at least according to a new legal review framework that Tjebbe Geldof developed in his doctoral research on political government communication. Parliament should have whistled back the government in 2005, but did not. Because parliament has repeatedly failed to effectively control government communication, citizens should be able to raise their objections to it with an independent judge, Geldof argues. He will defend his dissertation at Tilburg University on Dec. 14, 2022.
