So much for the waning hope of the leftist media elite that dutch voters would drift away from LPF as the election drew nearer.

And Frank Poortuyes, of De Volkskrant newspaper, said the left was "taking a hammering" partly because some voters held it responsible for demonising Mr Fortuyn, thereby playing a role in his murder.

The best news I've heard all day.

That was the line that leapt off the screen at me. A couple of days ago, an wishful thinking article was posted on how Pim Fortuyn's Party was falling apart and it's votes were going to go back to the Christian Democrats and Labor. HA!

The election is on Wednesday.
