According to a new report from the Dutch social policy institute, the SCP, almost one-third of Dutch voters now believes that immigration and integration are serious issues. Dutch News explains:
Almost 30% now consider immigration and integration to be the biggest problems facing the country, double the figure at the start of the year. In particular, people are afraid of increasing tensions in society and many think it unfair so much money is being diverted to refugees while Dutch people live in poverty, the SCP says. Almost 40% of college graduates and 70% of those with vocational training agree that the Netherlands may lose its distinctive characteristics due to immigration and open borders, the survey shows.
The survey further shows that Dutch voters want their government to focus more on domestic issues, rather than on problems of the rest of the world, among which the war in Syria and Iraq. In an interview with Dutch public broadcaster NOS, SCP director Paul Dekker explains:
"People want to go back to the Netherlands as they think it used to be: safe, cozy and okay behind our dykes."
Dekker's explanation is part true and part leftist talking point. With regards to the former, voters do believe that the government should spend more on domestic problems and less on helping other countries. It makes no sense to send billions of euros in foreign aid to other countries while our elderly and sick don't get the treatment they deserve.
As for the latter, Dekker also uses it as a slur. For decades, Dutch socialists have accused those of us on the right of trying to "hide behind the dykes," happy to watch while the world burns." It's meant to depict conservatives and classically liberals as small-minded racists.

In a parliamentary system 30% means they will be ignored
Only one-third are concerned?
They will be demonized as islamaphonics, racists
de-humanists and the band will play on. There female population will be offered up for rape and abuse by the marauders who invaded thier country and are supported by thier elected officials
Only a third? Send them all the refugees.
I guess it is a better idea to invite the people burning the world down in to your safe and happy home and hope that they leave their matches outside.

The other 70% are most worried about global warming.
Considering demographically the Muslims are having about 8 babies per family and the average Dutch family is having 1.2 babies per family you will be a shariah complaint nation within a few decades if more than 30% of you dont flock to parties like Wilders...just saying
Freegards

Why is Wilder’s an anti-immigration party. Why isn’t it a pro-dutch party?
Muslims are like cockroaches and there is no living with them.
(”People want to go back to the Netherlands as they think it used to be: safe, cozy and okay behind our dykes.” )
I didn’t know dykes offer a measure of protection! LOL!
heh heh
To be fair, it might not have been Van Der Galien, but from the organization he was quoting, though anyone conscientious should have changed the spelling error.
“Trump Effect”...
Nice to see the 'nose in the air' Europeans discover why we're objecting to endless third world types invading our country...coming here rather than working to change the hellholes they come from...
30% is far too low to save the country. Holland has no White future.

WHAT THE HELL IS IT WITH THESE COLLEGES?
