Yes, put the country trough ellections during a national crisis. Great job Wilders
He shot himself in the foot though because he pissed off his last parter meaning he can never get any real power again. No party in the Netherlands can rule on their own (which is a good thing) and so they need to look for partners in order to reach a majority. Wilders pissed off any left-wing party's by ranting toward them at every turn and quite frankly seems to hate them to much to even consider them partners. The cristian party CDA nearly split themself because half of them refused to work with Wilders and now he pissed of the liberal VVD, The only relevent party that had no problem with working with Wilders. So Wilders made sure his party will never gain any real power and is thus cheapening the people that voted for him.
I wasn't all that big on our coalition but i trusted prime minister Rutte and whatever measure's the coalition might have taken is better then having to wait for new ellection before we can take the actions we need to take.
Also i found it amusing that a big reason Wilders blew the whole thing off was that he didn't like Brussel intruding on out goverment. Noble words.....for someone that is most likely funded and thus influanced by America and Isreall

Here now! Don't blame US for that! We already cause enough trouble in the world without getting blamed for even more!

Our own elections are coming really close now! any dutchies know who they will vote for?
As for me i vote for....no one! i'm not allowed to vote yet the funny thing is that if this coalition had made it till the end i would have been able to do so.

I'll take being your age to being MY age any day, Chris. So i couldn't drink, smoke, vote, or even drive in some places. Big deal. Except for voting (whoopie) I don't do any of those things anyway. And it'd be nice to wake up refreshed instead of tired in the morning and with no aching joints or muscles either!

And our election are over now, the outcome is actually pretty surprising.
The way foreighners seem to describe the outcome is the pro Euro parties winning the election while the anti euro parties lose, which is actually a very interesting development since everyone feared Eurosceptism was getting bigger. Its also quite funny, the asshole who blew up the last goverment wanted this to become a 'referendum about Europe' and thats what happened....and he lost The pvv lost a good 11 seats, aint the irony awesome

He says he has nothing against muslims in general but it pretty much ends there as he just can't stop generalising them as thugs or otherwise just speaking lowly about them at any turm. He even claimed his ''dream'' was a netherlands without the Islam.
Truth be told i don't care about his stance against muslims, i dissagree him but i do recognise he sometimes does have a valid point about imigration . Its his extreme anti Euro standpoint that pisses me off since Wilders is basickly preaching economic suicide, which is very dangerous! Luckily voters seems to have punished him for it.

I wish the election in the US could have as nice an outcome, but since the race is basically between Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber I'm not very hopeful about it.

Getting back to this...
He's done it! He's finally done it! Wilders recently dropped all excuses about just being hard on radical Islam and the criminal portion of the immigrants. He's finally admitted he just doesn't like coloured people
During the local Elections Wilders said word for word he just wanted less Moroccans, not radical ones, not criminal ones just less Moroccans in general....he then had his supporters chant it for him
And now he's getting a lot of flack for it.

At least he was honest for once, which is more than I can say for most of our politicians (of either party) here in the US. All claim they don't have a racist bone in their body when everyone with any sense or ability to think critically can see that many of them are racist to the core.
