If the latest election results are any measure, The Netherlands may be past at least one peak in political madness. In this week’s local elections, the ugly coalition of conventional right-wingers and christian-democrats lost lots of support, as did many of the right-wing local ‘Leefbaar’ parties that had come to power over the past years. Clear winners were the socialists, as well as the British-Labour-Party-like fake socialists.
For the current government-by-fear trend to continue, this country will need a major terrorist attack in the next year.
