Resistance against voluntary ethnic cleansing is now deemed “bigotry and hate.”

It’s now past 4:30 pm in Amsterdam. Does anyone know when the polls close and how soon results are normally reported?

I think his debate performance will hurt him, one still has to act like a leader and he may have come up short on that. I agree with what he said but maybe not the correct time to say such.

“Dutch Prime Minister’s VVD Party first in election: exit poll”

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s VVD Party won the most seats in parliamentary elections on Wednesday, according to a second exit poll published by national broadcaster NOS.

The anti-Islam Party for Freedom of Geert Wilders was tied with two other parties at 19 seats apiece in the 150-seat house of representatives, while the VVD won 31 seats, according to the poll based on interviews with voters.

Actual results are expected by midnight.

The exit polling shows VVD (Mark Rutte) lead at 31, with PVV (Geert Wilders) at 19. These are not the final results.

The events of the last week regarding Turkey ended up being depicted as some sort of EU versus Turkey with leaders like Angela Merkel and Mark Rutte looking tough.

Rutte’s talking point for the last week: “I am a responsible leader”. Erdogan was used as an object lesson of the “irresponsible leader”, a label applied to Wilders, Le Pen and above all Donald J. Trump.

The voter turnout was reported high with paper ballots being used.

We’ve seen that before in the USA and we associate that the with funny business.

Another way to look at the situation.

Last election VVD 41. They lost 10 seats tonight according to the exit poll.

Last election PVV 15. They gained four seats tonight according to the exit poll.

I understand the liberal coalition again prevailed in ultraliberal the Netherlands. Right? They have little freedom there now “left to lose” in the words of Janice Joplin.

Fight on Wilders and PVV — civilization depends on it.

Islam is a war plan.
