Seems conservatives everywhere can't seem to stay on top and survive and fight with consistency. I hope this was not a casual phenomenon and they revert to type as the result of the death of Fortuyn. It seems conservatives in Holland come out only when they latch on to a leader and disolve when they lose one.
This is an opportunity for the right if they play it right. Hopefully someone with brains will take advantage of the situation and move the movement forward.
Someone will. Regardless of what his brother says, the party was more than Pim. If it wasn't, Pim would have been content to sit at home, think whatever he wanted to think and kept his mouth shut. And 20% of the country are supporting his party for a reason. That reason isn't going away because Pim was assassinated; it's only getting stronger.
Of course, the Reform party totally blew apart after the '92 elections here, but they never got any power in Congress.
