Netherlands General Election

[johnnytapia]

The Western fascination with populist leaders sporting strange blonde bouffants is alive and well in the Netherlands. Exit poll has Wilders’ PVV the largest party.

Wonder why he’s so popular.

Yeh you're right. An about turn to fascist, discriminatory, islamophobic sentiment is just what Europe of all continents needs.

Go and give your fucking head a wobble.

But doesn't this just prove that people have genuine concerns and it just doesn't work to keep calling them stupid and putting them down? If not then you can't be surprised when they happily vote for dangerous people.

It isn't for example Islamophobic to be concerned over the growth of Islam in Europe. Why would you not be concerned for an increasing population that follows a religion that demands the execution of gay people and treats women as second class citizens?

We should be extremely open to cultures but it's right to be suspicious of religion and the crap it brings. I'd say the same for Christianity however thankfully most Christians are now becoming atheists.

Yes, but one by one, countries are learning that voting for populist, shallow policies and governments does nothing to help.
