Jumping in here for my once-per-election hot take on Dutch politics that I otherwise pay next to no attention to and should not be listened to: D66 was my fave in 2017 and they still seem pretty good. However, according to a chart of "who should you support" I saw a couple days ago on Twitter. Denk looks like it might be closer to my views, but also a little bit less mainstream. So, those are probably who I'm "rooting for" today. Feel free to tell me I'm crazy as long as you tell me why.

What’s the deal with the BIJ1 splinter group from DENK? A more ‘doctrinaire’ anti-racist et al party but not one catering specifically to the Dutch Turkish/Moroccan communities as DENK seems to do?

Split off because of the lack of perceived support within DENK for progressive social change that doesn't just involve more autonomy for Turkish-Dutch, and of course sometimes those local issues are social conservative. Also problems with the parties capture by that community and the baggage that comes with it like Armenian Genocide denial and Erdogan.

Possibly unrelated, but biji is Kurdish for "Long live"/"viva," and "Biji Kurdistan" is a common rally cry among Kurdish nationalists.
