In late 2013, Driessen joined the independent MP Louis Bontes who had been expelled from the PVV. Together with Joram van Klaveren, who had also left the PVV, Bontes later formed a new group in the House of Representatives. In 2014, the three founded a new party called For the Netherlands (VNL), of which Driessen became the treasurer.
