Education and career
Van Nispen studied Dutch law at Tilburg University between 2000 and 2004. He then joined a law firm and did a master's degree in international and European public law between 2006 and 2007. Since then he worked for the Socialist Party group in the House of Representatives, occupying himself with the topic of Justice. Since his 2023 re-election to the House, Van Nispen has been the Socialist Party's spokesperson for justice, safety, migration, governance, and sports.{{Cite web |url = https://www.sp.nl/onze-mensen/gekozen |website = Socialist Party |access-date = 23 June 2024 |language = nl |title = Kamerleden |trans-title = Members of parliament }}
In February 2024, a motion by Michiel van Nispen and Mohammed Mohandis (GL-PvdA) was carried to reintroduce swimming lessons in elementary schools. They called on the government to prepare scenarios for their initiative in response to declining swimming skills among youths.{{Cite news |url = https://nos.nl/artikel/2508986-tweede-kamer-wil-schoolzwemmen-weer-invoeren |date = 15 February 2024 |access-date = 19 February 2024 |language = nl |website = NOS |title = Tweede Kamer wil schoolzwemmen weer invoeren |trans-title = House of Representatives wants to introduce swimming lessons in school }} In May, the House passed another motion by Van Nispen to ban international adoptions, which he called harmful to children.{{Cite news |url = https://nos.nl/artikel/2517029-tweede-kamer-wil-stop-op-buitenlandse-adopties |date = 16 April 2024 |access-date = 17 April 2024 |language = nl |website = NOS |title = Tweede Kamer wil stop op buitenlandse adopties |trans-title = House of Representatives wants to end international adoptions }} New applications were halted by the cabinet the following months, and it was later announced that no adoptions would be allowed starting in 2030.{{Cite news |url = https://nos.nl/artikel/2547697-kabinet-adoptie-uit-buitenland-in-zes-jaar-afgebouwd |date = 9 December 2024 |access-date = 9 December 2024 |language = nl |website = NOS |title = Kabinet: adoptie uit buitenland in zes jaar afgebouwd |trans-title = Cabinet: International adoptions phased out after six years }}
Along with Mirjam Bikker (CU), Van Nispen announced a bill with several measures to tackle online gambling issues, including a ban on advertisements and credit card payments and increased contributions from operators toward addiction prevention. His party favored prohibiting online gambling, which had been legalized in 2021, but such a proposal was unlikely to pass the House.{{Cite news |url = https://nos.nl/artikel/2545172-sp-en-cu-komen-met-initiatiefwetsvoorstel-om-online-gokken-aan-banden-te-leggen |last1 = Bolsius |first1 = Roel |last2 = Jackson |first2 = Emma |date = 20 November 2024 |access-date = 21 November 2024 |language = nl |website = NOS |title = SP en CU komen met initiatiefwetsvoorstel om online gokken aan banden te leggen |trans-title = SP and CU will introduce initiative bill to restrict online gambling }} The House passed a motion by Van Nispen and Sandra Palmen (NSC) urging the government to adopt recommendations by Jos Silvis to seek legal advice from a range of law firms. Previously, the government had relied almost exclusively on the firm {{ill|Pels Rijcken (law firm)|lt=Pels Rijcken|nl|Pels Rijcken (advocatenkantoor)}}.{{Cite news |url = https://fd.nl/politiek/1538092/tweede-kamer-zet-exclusiviteit-landsadvocaat-verder-op-de-tocht |url-access = subscription |date = 26 November 2024 |last1 = Mos |first1 = Bart |last2 = Van der Schoot |first2 = Edwin |access-date = 28 November 2024 |language = nl |website = Het Financieele Dagblad |title = Tweede Kamer zet exclusiviteit landsadvocaat verder op de tocht |trans-title = House of Representatives hangs exclusivity of government attorney further in the balance }}
