Editing Pim Fortuyn List (section)

==Legacy==
Fortuyn's political heritage became scattered among various politicians in the Netherlands, several of whom had begun their careers in the LPF and tried founding parties of their own, most of which were unsuccessful. These included [[Marco Pastors]] and [[Joost Eerdmans]], founders of the [[One NL]], [[Winny de Jong]] of [[DeConservatieven.nl]], and [[Hilbrand Nawijn]], leader of the [[Party for the Netherlands]]—none of which managed to win a seat in the 2003 or 2006 elections. Other parties included [[Forza! Nederland]] founded by  [[Paul Meijer (politician)|Paul Meijer]] and [[Fleur Agema]], both former members of the LPF branch on the [[States-Provincial]] of [[North Holland]]. The LPF also influenced politicians in the [[Flanders|Flemish]] region of [[Belgium]], such as lawyer and [[Open VLD]] member [[Hugo Coveliers]] who went on to found the [[VLOTT]] party based on Fortuyn's ideas, and [[Jean-Marie Dedecker]] and his [[Lijst Dedecker]] party. However, in the Netherlands the LPF became squeezed out by the tougher line on immigration and integration issues taken by mainstream politicians, such as Minister for Integration and Immigration [[Rita Verdonk]], who had largely adopted Fortuyn's policies. By the end of the decade, former LPF supporters had mostly moved to support [[Geert Wilders]] and his [[Party for Freedom]] (PVV).<ref name=m213/> Traces of Fortuyn's legacy have remained at a national political level with former LPF politician Fleur Agema being elected to parliament for the Party for Freedom and later becoming [[Deputy Prime Minister of the Netherlands]] in 2024.<ref name=m213/><ref name=ind2/>

In February 2006, soon before it fell out of parliament, the scholar [[Hans Jansen]] organised a conference in cooperation with the scientific committee of the LPF in the House of Representatives building that brought together several international anti-Islam figures, including [[Bat Ye'or]], [[Daniel Pipes]], [[Geert Wilders]], [[Robert B. Spencer|Robert Spencer]], [[Bruce Bawer]], [[Lars Hedegaard]], [[Ibn Warraq]], [[Paul Beliën]] and [[Fjordman|Peder "Fjordman" Jensen]].<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-FDUDAAAQBAJ&dq=wilders+international+freedom+alliance&pg=PT76|title=The Power of Populism: Geert Wilders and the Party for Freedom in the Netherlands|first=Koen|last=Vossen|year=2016|publisher=Routledge|isbn=9781317292890}}</ref> This movement would eventually become known as the [[counter-jihad|counter-jihad movement]].<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wiwlDwAAQBAJ&dq=2006+hans+jansen+Counter-jihad&pg=PA81|title=The Power of Populism: Geert Wilders and the Party for Freedom in the Netherlands|first=Koen|last=Vossen|year=2016|publisher=Routledge|isbn=9781317292890}}</ref>

In 2020, Eerdemans founded the [[JA21]] party which claims to want to help "Fortuyn's ideas return to the House of Representatives".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Popelier |first=Jarry |date=2021-02-07 |title=JA21-oprichter Joost Eerdmans: 'Aan ons de taak het land te verdedigen' |url=https://panorama.nl/artikel/446219/ja21-oprichter-joost-eerdmans-aan-ons-de-taak-het-land-te-verdedigen |access-date= |website=Panorama |language=nl}}</ref>

Although dissolved at national level, the name ''Pim Fortuyn List'' continued to be used for a period at municipal level by local branches that split off from the LPF in [[Eindhoven]], [[Boornsterhem]], [[Westland (municipality), Netherlands|Westland]] and [[The Hague]].<ref>LPF lonkt naar TON.
