The Basic Income Party was founded on 4 October 2013. [2] In 2014, the party participated in the municipal elections in Amsterdam, Bergen, Deventer and Utrecht. [5] [6] [7] [8] It also planned to participate in Almere and Groningen, but pulled back two months before the election due to a lack of preparation time. [9] [10] The party did not win any seats. [11]

In 2017, the party participated in the general election as part of a combined list – known as the "umbrella list" [12] – with the Party for Human and Spirit, the Party for Children's Interests and the political movement Peace & Justice. [2] [3] It only participated in the seventh and eighth electoral districts (Utrecht and Arnhem). [13] The list did not receive enough votes for a seat in the House of Representatives. [14]

In 2018, the party took part in the municipal elections once again. This time it only participated in the municipality of Amsterdam. Despite an initiative to join forces with other minor parties, the Basic Income Party failed to win a seat in the municipal council. [15] [16]

In July 2020, Citizen Interests Netherlands (Dutch : Burger Belangen Nederland) merged into the party, and the name was changed to De Basis. [17] The party had intended to take part in the 2021 general election, but ultimately did not submit the required documents to the Electoral Council. [18] [19]
