I truly hope that the Wilders is kept from governing. Let some hashed-together left-wing coalition make things even worse for a few years and drive even more people rightwards. This has to be a long-term strategy and by keeping out the people who got the most seats, then the optics are fantastic for the Right. Let the lefties f*** up, as they always do.

I like the Dutch PR system, when you look at Wilders his win you realise that 2.3 million Dutch citizens voted for him and I think he has 35 only or so out of 150 parliamentary seats, far from the British media's idea of an election triumph. To actually govern he will probably have to embark on a lengthy process (the last took 271 days) of trying to work out a coalition, the others may gang up on him anyway. It is a given, he realises it, that he will have to drop his extreme ideas which are probably unconstitutional/illegal as well, in order to be PM. So it is working against extremism in my view.

Originally posted by eaglesdare I suppose Italy and Argentina results were freak results too Can see the two other dutch party's joining and the "far right" party will be opposition. Tide is well and truly turning if other countries and governments don't start listening to the will of the people we will continue to see more "freak" results. Yes I'm looking over at macron who was very lucky at the last french election. Edited by eaglesdare (23 Nov 2023 11.54am) Wilders’ party did not win a majority! They topped the polls. Very different. I hope the government that forms does listen to the will of the people. Most don’t want Wilders.

We have seen on here the real reasons why some call for proportional representation. I called it out previously of course but here you see the naked truth written out in text. They end up creating the extremism they say they are against. I doubt the Dutch will accept a situation where such a clear winner isn't reflected in the result.....He has a mandate. When things like what happened in Poland happen.....which was a far closer result the consequences aren't going to go well as people see the injustice here. 'Who are you and how did you get in here?

Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (23 Nov 2023 1.33pm) The only thing that is clear in the above is that you have an opinion. Which is not shared by me, or many others. Finding ways to stem the flow of illegal immigration is an objective shared by almost everyone. There’s no need to get excited about it and even less point. What’s needed are practical ideas that work and deliver the desired outcomes. That’s not so easy and I have never heard one from you. Accepting the need for controlled immigration to meet current vacancies in vital areas is something I think we all ought to do. Starving industry of the tools to allow them to function and grow is not in anyone’s interest. Ensuring such immigrants either come on short term contracts or if they intend to make their home in their adopted country, commit to respecting and supporting the culture are important, but different issues.
