  • Geert Wilders, the populist leader of the Freedom party (PVV), has benefited from a fragmentation in Dutch politics.

    But despite topping several polls, his party is likely to attract less than 20% of the vote and he has no real hope of winning power in a post-election coalition in the Netherlands. So should the attention-seeking Geert Wilders simply be ignored?

    so here's the thing, "be normal" is a thing Dutch people say a lot. With being normal we mean not using violence or standing out in a bad way.

    Regardless of whether he's in government or not. Having 1/5 of the voting power in the Parliament can still cause problems for any government refusing to work with his party. The Guardian here, as usual, seems obsessed with state power as if it's the only power that counts. Nigel Farage, the arch enemy of guardian readers brought about change from the outside. This was purely due to his election result of nearly 4m votes in the 2015 election. The Conservative Party, noting this was nearly half of their election result in 2005 (Labour got 9 but disproportionately more seats to votes) and just having left a coalition (due to not being able to win those 4m votes) sought to head the issue off with a referendum to get those votes back into the tory fold to secure future victories, arrogantly thinking they'd win the referendum. And we all know how that turned out.

    Just voted for wilders. Not just because of his anti immigration standpoint but mostly for his view on healthcare and social agenda. He isnt far right. The pvv is strong on immigration but overall its almost a socialist party.

    The issue is not race or immigration it is a clash of cultural values . Liberal niceties v a culture which tells you it doesn't respect or want your culture and wishes to replace it with violence if you so much as question it. HE IS CORRECT.

    it's kinda poetic that he stresses the word "are" rather than "not" when he said "those who criticise Moroccans ARE not racists"
    really a metaphor for implicit vs explicit racism
