He was also criticized for this in his own party. 1977–1983 Nagel was a PvdA member of the First Chamber .
In 1993 he founded the local party Leefbaar Hilversum and sat for them in Hilversum in the city council and in the city government. In 2001 he was a co-founder of the nationwide party Leefbaar Nederland . This adopted more and more right-wing populist ideas and had Pim Fortuyn as the top candidate at short notice in 2001/2002 . Nagel was the first party chairman.
In 2005 he was involved in the founding of another party, the Partij voor Rechtvaardigheid, Daadkracht en Vooruitgang, together with the crime reporter Peter R. de Vries . It remained unsuccessful in the polls and was disbanded.
