"The PVV won a landslide victory in the Netherlands' general election in 2023, knocking former Prime Minister Mark Rutte's party off the top spot. Despite the victory, the country's four major parties chose the former head of the Netherlands' intelligence service, Dick Schoof, as prime minister."

> far-right leader Geert Wilders <
Why do we never hear about far-left leaders? Maybe there aren’t any. Of maybe the mainstream media is full of crap.
🤔
Hmmmm? Poland, Hungary, Netherlands...........Guess the bruselles elites won’t be pleased with what’s going on in EUtopia with these actions.
In Europe “far right” is defined by this one issue.
What is the point of voting?
CNBC is a rat propaganda op masquerading as a financial news network
Took him too long time to figure it out and in the process Wilders give up quite a few PVV platform concepts, including NEXIT. Now they obliged to shake the electorate for some more hocus pocus. Sort of like--you can express your opinion, but we'll decide what to do anyway.
Thanks for the post, Red.
What Wilders is asking isn’t much. Basically, tightening rules for asylum-seekers.
People granted asylum status are put on welfare and do not have to assimilate (e.g., learn the national language and get a job). Perhaps, in an emergency, a small number of persons displaced by war or natural disaster might be accommodated as asylum-seekers. But, asylum-seekers have become permanent and a big business (e.g., for the Catholic Church in this country).
As for another snap election: the upstart parties of the prior election (BBB and NSC) have fallen to trivial status in the polls. The CDA (traditional partners of the center-right VVD) have revived. And, the Forum for Democracy and J21 have continued to grow.
(Sorry for the shorthand. The Netherlands has many parties that gain representation in its parliament.)
Bottom line: the right of center parties continue to have something a two-thirds majority among them, although the specifics have changed. And, among the populists, conservatives, market-oriented liberals, libertarians and others of our coalition, there’s plenty of room for disagreement. Wilders should be willing to bargain with the members of the ruling coalition to avoid a snap election.
The big winner of a snap election would be the VVD + CDA faction. Those two parties could form or come close to forming a majority coalition with Wilders’ Dutch Freedom Party (PVV) or with a combination of small center and right of center parties.
The big losers would be BBB and NSC, whose time looks to have come and gone.
