Another wonderful demonstration of far right patriotism :

Such a thing might be almost automatically presumed these days?

Also, in party political news, the Youth wing of the FVD in South Holland had 89 pages of anti-semitic content leaked from their Whatsapp group, including depictions of Anne Frank taking cocaine for some reason(?), but mainly the usual stuff about Jews being against white interests.

B-but.......I thought anti-Semitism only existed on the left these days?

and the FvD expelled the whistle blowers(!) in their youth wing for sharing the anti-semitic comments on their whatsapp groups to the press.

Official: Government has resigned

If the election is still happening on the scheduled date, does this make any practical difference?

Court in the Hague orders the government to lift the curfew.

Sounds significant - was this expected?

Is there any reason why PvdA, SP, and GL shouldn't all be shuttered and the Dutch left just told to start over with new organisations?

Well, the first of those might have done rather better without the benefits scandal I suppose.

Postal votes from abroad have not been added yet. Afaik the count results of these will be released next Tuesday.

Is there any chance these could alter the seat numbers?
