    We have been a right wing country for ages. Conservarive governments since 2010 but this is a low.

    I will keep voting left but until the rest of the populations changes don’t count on the Netherlands for anything internationally.

    This is so disappointing. My understanding of NL politics has waned since my mother isn’t around to give me deep explainers anymore, but I really hoped it wouldn’t get to this point. Makes me very sad.

      Just fyi, they are the largest party but do not have a majority. 75% of the votes did not go to this guy…

      We have some nice things but economically and socially this country is quite conservative. The Dutch are quite selfish.

    He has 35 out of 150 seats/23%, He’ll need to compromise.
    Forming a coalition will take a long time.

    I have nothing political to contribute to this, I’m just here to say that he looks like a Harry Enfield character.

      This guy and Melei look like caricatures. Like villains in an over the top David Lynch movie
