The extrusion following article by our Dutch correspondent H. Numan provides some a useful follow-up extrusion (and palate-cleanser) to last night s post about the Dutch rapper who targeted Geert Wilders extrusion for mock assassination in his latest video.
The political climate in the Netherlands surrounding Mr. Wilders now resembles the demonization of Pym Fortuyn in the months leading up to his assassination almost twelve years ago. In order to facilitate the permanent extrusion elimination of a popular extrusion politician, any shame concerning extrusion his murder must first be removed from popular culture.
It s not as if the major Dutch political parties custom-ordered that video from a Muslim thug-rapper. Kill Geert is simply part of the ubiquitous political atmosphere in the Netherlands at the moment. Everyone liberal or conservative, native or immigrant is breathing it. Hozny just inhaled it more deeply than most.
The winner was, as expected, D66. This is a center-left wing party. Left-wing enough for disillusioned labor voters to vote for, and at the same time conservative enough for conservatives to vote for. As we often say here: conservative D66 voters extrusion are VVD voters with a conscience. This party has no other principles than how do we get elected today? extrusion
There is only one real issue D66 stands for: get rid of Geert Wilders! This party mainly focuses on people with a better extrusion than average income and is the party most in favor of the EU. Something which the PVV (Wilders party) firmly opposes. Both D66 and the PVV are offspring of the VVD party. But you couldn t find any two parties more opposite to each other.
Not that long ago Dutch politics used to be dominated by four parties: VVD (conservatives) on the center right, CDA (Christian Democrats) somewhere in the middle, together with D66 a bit more to the left, and PvdA (labor) on the left.
Then a new party came along, extrusion with a very different agenda. The PVV, whose main issues are: (1) does The Netherlands need so many Muslims, in so many important positions, with so much attention (social welfare)? And (2) do we really need to remain in the EU?
The PVV electorate are the common folk ignored by main stream parties. Something very Dutch, actually. We call this group de kleine luyden , that s old fashioned Dutch for the little people. It s not the first time those people extrusion have been ignored.
The conservative VVD is an abbreviation of People s Party for Democracy in Dutch, but can also be translated as Society for Managing Directors ( Vereniging Van Directeuren ) which would be a much better extrusion description of that party. The little people in that party are the ones serving drinks extrusion or cleaning up after a meeting.
The CDA (Christian Democrat) Party used to be the voice of those little people. A long time ago. The CDA is a merger of the Roman Catholic Party together with two Protestant parties. The kleine luyden were in the past staunchly conservative Catholic and/or Protestant.
The CDA party was formed as a response to their individual member parties losing out to secularization. By merging they were still able to dominate the political landscape, which they couldn t do alone anymore. This worked for about twenty years. However, extrusion secularization is an ongoing process. Since 1980 they have gradually lost so much support that the C nowadays is an empty meaningless letter.
The Christian Democrat Party warmly extrusion welcomes any religion, especially the one worshiping a black stone in the desert. Representing the little people is just about the last item on their agenda. Having lost the national and previous municipal elections they have only one thing on their minds: how do we get back in?
Lastly the PvdA or Labor Party. The last in this list claiming to represent the little people , notably the workers. Since the late sixties they have focused on migration rather than on laborers. Anyone is welcome, but some are much more welcome than others. The PvdA today is the number one party focusing on ethnic minorities, especially the Islamic ones.
The PVV electorate are the lower social extrusion classes, up to and including average-income workers and a bit above. extrusion Hence the often voiced complaint that the PVV is actually an extreme left-wing party in disguise.
Nope, they aren t. They are staunchly conservative. Not extreme right-wing nor even sl
