Democratic Political Turning Point (DPK, {{langx|nl|Democratisch Politiek Keerpunt}}) was a political party in the Netherlands. The party was founded by Hero Brinkman, an independent member of the House of Representatives, formerly a member of the Party for Freedom (PVV). After Brinkman left the Party for Freedom he founded the Independent Citizens' Party (OBP). On 9 June 2012, Brinkman announced that the Independent Citizens' Party was merging with the Proud of the Netherlands (TON) party to form a new party: Democratic Political Turning Point. The party participated in the Dutch general election of 2012, but did not win any seats.{{in lang|en}} [http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archives/2012/06/populists_brinkman_and_ton_uni.php Populists Brinkman and TON unite], DutchNews.nl, 9 June 2012{{in lang|en}} [http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archives/2012/06/new_dpkp_party_marks_a_turning_1.php New DPKP party marks a 'turning point', will fill gap on the right] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120622031930/http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archives/2012/06/new_dpkp_party_marks_a_turning_1.php |date=2012-06-22 }}, DutchNews.nl, 19 June 2012 On 18 November 2012, TON reversed the merger and parted ways with Brinkman.{{Cite web|title = Trots op Nederland verder zonder Brinkman|url = http://www.volkskrant.nl/politiek/trots-op-nederland-verder-zonder-brinkman~a3349904/|website = De Volkskrant|accessdate = 31 October 2015|date = 18 November 2012|language = nl}}
