EU Elections: Big Gains for Dutch Populist Wilders, Pro-Farmer Party Wins First Seats in EU Parliament
Breitbart ^ | 06/07/2024 | KURT ZINDULKA

Dutch populist leader Geert Wilders declared his Party for Freedom was the “biggest winner” in the country’s EU Parliament elections on Thursday as exit polls predict massive gains for the anti-mass migration party.

The Party for Freedom (PVV) built upon its recent domestic success on Thursday, with exit polls predicting that the populist party will secure at least seven seats in the next European Parliament after winning zero seats in the 2019 EU elections. According to the initial estimates from Ipsos on behalf of public broadcaster NOS, this marked the largest gains for any Dutch party and the largest total for PVV in its history.

However, while the PVV was the big winner of the evening, celebrations were somewhat muted as the exit polls predicted that the alliance between the Green Left and the Labour Party (GroenLinks-PvdA) of Green Deal architect Frans Timmermans would come out on top with 8 seats. However, this is one fewer than the previously separate parties secured in 2019 and Wilders noted that it is still possible for his party to gain an extra seat after official results are revealed.

I’ve always been on the Right politically.

I do not like the history of the term Populist. It was originally connected with “The Left”.

Tea Party was good, MAGA is good, but at some point we need a description that is unsoiled. And that the left has not twisted out of shape.

No matter what is used, the left and the MSM will work to give it a bad connotation. The rule is simple...whatever they disagree with is amoral and controversial - no matter the nomenclature.

Think of some way to counteract the Democrats' disinformation propaganda which twists, distorts, perverts everything into newspeak.

They've been very successful at it. Theirs is an evil genius.

Note how they've succeeded masterfully in changing "illegal immigrants" into "undocumented migrants." Et al.

They have always destroyed and twisted meaning of words in our language.

That is something Satan taught them.
