#Politico writes a piece on Thierry #Baudet, the newcomer in #Dutch politics and winner of the last elections (#PS2019). The writer does not to be a fan of 'populism' but the article gives a fair impression nonetheless. #GitmoLowlands

'#Dutch populists win the elections'.
Well… 
1. They call themselves nationalists.
2. They won over climate policy and taxing on energy.
3. This party 'supports Israel without reservations'. Israel, Rothschild country.
#GitmoLowlands #elections #senate #PS2019

According the exit-polls 23,5% of the Dutch voters voted for a far-right party (FvD, PVV and SGP)! FvD and PVV are climate deniers and full-blood racists. The SGP is an old fundamentalist Christian party.

The conservative liberals of the VVD remain the largest party in the Senate (14,0%).

Good news is that GreenLeft and the Party for the Animals did win (14,6% combined).

As expected the centre-right coalition is loosing their majority in the Senate. That means they need to beg for support.

As you can see #theNetherlands is not that tolerant country you thought it was.

#PS2019

Today are the provincial elections (and indirect the Senate) in the Netherlands.

The following can be expected:

- The new far-right party 'Forum for Democracy' will win. We have to wait how much, but be prepared for a Dutch wave of #fascism.

- The ruling coalition will loose their majority in the Senate. This means they need smaller parties, like Green Left, Labour and maybe the Party for the Animals, or conservative parties.

#PS2019

Wat een tranentrekkend #slotdebat zeg. Aan de ene kant wil ik niet stemmen (ga je daardoor niet akkoord met de representatieve democratie), aan de andere kant is dat helaas wel de politieke realiteit en kan tegenwicht bieden tegen fascisten zoals Baudet en Wilders geen kwaad.

En wat wordt het dan: Partij voor de Dieren, SP of GroenLinks?

SP valt al af, want matig op klimaat, populistisch op migratie, nationalistisch randje en een autoritair leiderschap.

GroenLinks staat denk ik het meest af van Baudet en Wilders. Is echter voor economische groei en likt veel te veel de hielen van de coalitie.

Partij voor de Dieren voldoet wellicht op klimaat/milieugebied, maar vaak ontwijkend betreffende antiracisme. Daarnaast staat mij het racistische en seksistische optreden van Amsterdams gemeenteraadslid Van Lammeren nog vers in het geheugen (ja, is Amsterdam, maar landelijk geen afstand van genomen).
