What is PVdB’s stance on the lockdowns?

PvdD or PvdA?

PvdD support some restrictions that pertain to everyone, but are very critical of - and do not support - measures such as 3G and 2G, because they see no merit in it. They prefer focusing on the (presumed) zoonotic origin of the virus (which would illustrate the need of a very different approach toward animals in our society, not anymore as a "product"), on its global transmission through people flying (which they think should be restricted), on prevention, and on increasing the capacity of the healthcare system.

Can this opposition to the harsh lockdowns be the primary reason they are rising in the polls?

[PSOL]

This might be a silly question but what is stopping the various FVD splitters (JA21, BVNL, Otten) from working together? Is it actual policy differences or just egos?

The Dutch clearly have egos on par with the British in terms of self-importance, and yet they are the most sectarian nation in Europe. Each village and town, and in some case neighborhoods, views itself as superior to the savages outside it’s borders.

[PSOL]

BBB finally being the force to destroy Rutte is something that I’d love to see.

Seems like slowly but surely Geert Wilders is finally moving upwards.

[PSOL]

The SP will perish by the next GE regardless, so the unprincipled wench will go where the money is.

[PSOL]

Mark Rutte, along with the likes of Italian leaders and Pedro Sanchez, remains the worst leader of a Western European country of the 21st century.

[PSOL]

Former Defense Minister Jeanine Hennis, also known for binge drinking and throwing up in the tv show House Ibiza, is also not available for the VVD leadership.

You seriously can’t handle Eurotrash Jersey Shore?

[PSOL]

PVV is going to survive, Geert Wilders is the true Teflon Don.

[PSOL]

The thing is I don’t think Afro-Dutch people care much and .11% of the vote is very critical to get through the finish line. And there is a market for change given the implosion and disaffection to SP.

[PSOL]

This is going to be a good night for PVV

Shame Symone’s health problems and the immense bullying by far right trolls have ended B1JI

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?

The amount of cash rolling in from arms sales makes it extremely unlikely. Like Slovakia, maybe the blank checks might end but the military surpluses will find their way some way or another.

[PSOL]

Like Israel or Spain, no government is better than a government. This isn’t Belgium where technocrats can get in and run things, there’s actually some disruption of politicians making things worse.
