As a Dutchman: good question haha. He's been so busy achieving (good) things in the EU that I honestly didn't really see that much of him in the general political discussion in the Netherlands. But as someone who usually votes GroenLinks or PvdA I do feel like he has more potential as a leader than the former party leaders of both. From everything he's done so far he comes across as an experienced and calm leader who can unify the left and give us a shot at becoming the largest party in the new political landscape.
Thanks!
