🇳🇱 Politics and Elections in the Netherlands: General Election (Nov 22)

[Sir Mohamed]

I feel like the western world is crumbling under poison of right-wing populism. That said, PVV got 23% of the vote. That's not really a mandate or landslide.

It's because people are sick of the liberal ideology that only serves the elites.

If that was true, the left-wing parties would have gained more votes. The Dutch voted for a right-wing govt. It's also hilarious to assume Wilders wouldn't serve anybody but himself.

[Sir Mohamed]

Seems any attempt to keep Wilders out of the coalition will be electorally punished.

Probably. Perhaps the better way forward is to appoint him PM in a coalition agreement and call for a snap election if/when he screws up.

[Sir Mohamed]

I'm sorry if that was discussed earlier, but would Wilders as PM end military aid to Ukraine? Despite being a smaller member of NATO, the country provided a good deal of weapons and equipment to Ukraine. And would he block additional EU sanctions against Russia?

[Sir Mohamed]

The four parties have officially reached an agreement, which will now have to be approved by all four parliamentary groups.

So Wilders is going to be PM?
