Dutch politics is amazing; so many choices and all of them are terrible, even the ones that look at first as if they might not be.

The PvdA has basically become the sort of organisation that far left critics of social democratic parties accuse all such parties of becoming. Dutch politics is bizarre.

That is quite possibly the most Dutch thing ever.

I see that James Joyce is alive and well and living in Maastricht.

Holidays should always come before politics imo, so that's sensible.

Quite the development in the PvdA: eligible voters can now become PvdA members for 1 month by paying the sum of 2 euros and have full voting rights in the upcoming primary.

this will end well

(mind you the PvdA is in such a mess that...)

The Netherlands with PR = a smaller, flatter, richer India. The fragmented nature of society that produces the sort of insane kaleidoscopic elections that cause Concern would not go away just because the electoral system has altered!

I have yet to hear anybody associate neo-liberalism with the Jews though.

Pretty common on the Trot parts of the internet, alas.

Anyway, the election...

So the PvdA lost a humongous three quarters of their seats and the SP still didn't manage to profit from that?? Talk about Epic Fail!

The Dutch Left is special sometimes.

PvdA: centre left: social democrats

Though rather enraged their electorate by not exactly being like this in government this time round, thus this result...

Wait, Djissembloem is from PvdA?!?
I always thought he was a right-wing politician given his hawkish budgetary stances...no wonder PvdA is getting slaughtered.
Hahaha. This may well be the quote of the evening when it comes to the PvdA's loss.

It's the post of the month at least, perhaps of the year so far. Perfection.

Btw.....if your explanation is based on data, it's funny that people who would leave the PdvA cause of right-wing economics would switch to D66, which also seems to follow right-wing economics.

Ah but that's because many of those voters were more interested in punishing their usual party than on picking a new one.

Judging by the results I think the PVV "won" Hindustanis

1. lol

2. That's an amusingly old fashioned phrasing (I presume a literal trans. from Dutch). Where in India are these people from?
