Career

Eberhard was initially a member of the Liveable Netherlands party, but following Pim Fortuyn's dismissal as party leader he joined Fortuyn's new party, the Pim Fortuyn List. He helped to set up the LFP's press office and recruited other former LN members into the LPF. During the campaign, he courted minor controversy when it was found he had been involved in the running of phone sex lines and pornographic websites. He was elected to the Member of the House of Representatives for the LPF in 2002, but left the party due to internal disputes and joined Winny de Jong in Groep De Jong. The pair later set up a new political party called Conservatives.nl but were unsuccessful at getting re-elected.
