Biography
[edit | edit source]Early life and education
[edit | edit source]Pool was born in Zwolle in 1993. He attended the Koninklijke Militaire Academie (Royal Military Academy) in Breda on a six month basic military training course before studying a bachelor's degree in history and then a master's degree in political science at the Utrecht University. After graduating he worked within the IT sector.[1][2][3]
Political career
[edit | edit source]Pool worked as a senior policy officer for the PVV's parliamentary faction and was elected to the Provincial Council of Overijssel in 2019. In 2021, he submitted an application to become mayor in his hometown of Kampen becoming the first PVV politician to directly seek mayorship and said his decision was due to crime and antisocial behaviour from residents of a nearby asylum centre.[4]
During the 2023 Dutch general election, Pool was elected to the House of Representatives on the PVV's list.[5] In his February 2024 maiden speech, he argued the Dutch government was endangering national security through its support of Ukraine during that country's invasion by Russia. He referred to the Dutch policy as a stream of provocations towards Russia. This drew sharp criticism from other parties in the House, and fellow PVV MP Raymond de Roon later called Pool's comments reductive.[6]
In the general election of 29 October 2025, Pool was not re-elected.[7]
