From the Netherlands, Geert Wilders and his political party react to the British vote calling for a Dutch EU referendum.

A direct quote from Wilders is beyond the part I excerpted......

[Scott from the Left Coast]

NEXIT!

How can any freedom-loving person not love Mr. Wilders?
He's a big liberal and on some things even a Leftist, but on the 1 big thing, survival of civilization, he's got his head screwed on straight while putting his life on the line defying assassins, and has for quite some time now.
It's completely ridiculous and unacceptable that hostile foreigners should be able to decide who lives or dies in a free country.

Interesting how little has changed in over 300 years. In 1688, England and the Netherlands stood together as bastions of liberty against the might of the rest of Continental Europe (mainly France). England's Glorious Revolution of 1688-89, in which they secured their independence from a tyrannical faction within their own borders, required the assistance of the Dutch. If they hadn't been able to pull it off, both countries probably would have been overwhelmed by France.
