There are no slick videos on the Twitter profile of Caroline van der Plas (54). Everything comes across as ‘ordinary’. From her twitter name @lientje1967 to funny gifs about current events. Usually she films herself when she tells something, sometimes a bit jerky and with a haze over the image. With her black curls, leather jackets and white sneakers, she doesn’t look like the average Member of Parliament. And that ‘normal’ thing, that’s what the media love. She has become a well-known Dutchman in recent months, with performances at The Smartest Man, Jinek, Chips and Rooijakkers across the Floor. “Apparently people like to talk to someone who is ordinary,” she says in the latter program about all the media attention. But is Van der Plas really that ordinary? As a journalist and daughter of a sports reporter and a CDA alderman, she knows the media through and through.
