    Yikes dawg. Don’t you guys have multi member seats in your legislative gov though? hopefully that protects a bit :/ Like they usually need to form a coalition to govern right?

      You would think that, but the conservative liberals, conservative centrist christians, conspiratorial farmers all seem to want to work together with Wilders, and for an important and meant to be neutral and devoid of any open party affiliation we picked an anti-semite (of the Soros type). (It remains to be seen how bad this is, for previous people of their position the importance of the position overruled their party affiliation, but I don’t have much faith in new right people holding onto decorum).

      And atm they seem to be mostly arguing that a few things Wilders want are incompatible with our constitution (which isn’t that strong, and well the job of the gov is also to change the constitution so I’m a bit worried they are worried about that, and not that wilders plans are horrible. A bit of a ‘make sure your murders are legal!’ situation). Granted they are saying 'the constitutional protections first, and after that we are going to argue about the specific things Wilders and we want, but still.

      But yes, our multi member thing offers quite a bit of protections.

        Similar in Sweden, the Sweden Democrats provide a voting bloc for the ruling “center”-right gov, but SD dictates policy and can avoid responsibility for the unpopular stuff.

          Yeah that tends to work out very badly for the more centrist parties. Our centrist party d66 (they would call themselves left but lol, lmao. The weird right twitter people who seem to be very pro farmers also think they are left and blame them for everything, the reactions were quite disgusting) has often ruled with the conservative liberal VVD in the past and every time they rule they lose half their voters afterwards. I’m just amazed that is happens over and over.
