===List Five Fortuyn and dissolution (2006β2008)=== The LPF attempted to start afresh and participated in the [[2006 Dutch general election|2006 general election]] under its new name List Five Fortuyn (''Lijst Vijf Fortuyn''). On 25 September 2006, the party released a controversial campaign commercial which featured new leader [[Olaf Stuger]] coming down from "heaven" with a parachute and presenting himself as a "reincarnation" of Pim Fortuyn. Marten Fortuyn, brother of Pim Fortuyn, declared it "outrageous and tasteless."<ref name=rtl1>{{cite web|url=http://www.rtl.nl/(/actueel/rtlnieuws/)/components/actueel/rtlnieuws/2006/09_september/25/binnenland/0925_1800_woedend_om_lvfortuyn.xml |title=Marten Fortuyn woedend over spot nieuwe LPF|language=nl |work= [[RTL Nieuws]] |date=25 September 2006 |access-date=28 March 2011}}</ref> In the election, LVF did not receive enough votes to secure a seat with support of only 0.2%. It also lost all of its seats in the 2007 Provincial Council elections, meaning it was no longer eligible for representation in the Senate. By this stage, many former LPF supporters were switching to the new [[Party for Freedom]] led by [[Geert Wilders]] which contained similar policies to the LPF and emerged as a successor.<ref name=ind2>{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/fortuyns-heirs-eclipsed-as-big-parties-move-right-425285.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121105142914/http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/fortuyns-heirs-eclipsed-as-big-parties-move-right-425285.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=November 5, 2012 |title=Fortuyn's heirs eclipsed as big parties move right|work=[[The Independent]] |date=22 November 2006 |access-date=28 March 2011 | location=[[Rotterdam]] | first=Stephen | last=Castle}}</ref> In 2006, the party decided to close its office in [[the Hague]] since it was no longer represented in national or provincial politics. In July 2007, the party held a meeting in which its delegates voted to dissolve itself by 1 January 2008. The decision was opposed by the party's youth-wing and LPF municipal branches in the Hague and Eindhoven who all declared they would continue under the LPF banner as independent organisations. As a result, the LPF name has only existed at a municipal level since 2008.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archives/2007/07/lpf_to_disband_on_new_years_da.php|title=LPF to disband on New Year's Day 2008|date=23 July 2007|access-date=28 March 2011|work=DutchNews.nl}}</ref>
