The next parliamentary elections in several EU countries will be fascinating to watch over the next few years.
I’ve been shocked at the rise of nationalism in Netherlands. It always seemed so liberal
They had a liberal gay guy named Pim Fortuyn who created his own party, names after extensive marketing research -Pim Fortuyn List, that became a leading party very quickly.
His primary issue was stopping immigration, which he felt would turn Netherlands into something different. He was assassinated by an environmentalist.
Since that time Netherlands has gone from 95% Dutch to around 70% today.
We will see if Geert Wilders is able to run himself and win, or if it will be another case of leading parties getting together to keep out the 'far right'.
Wow. That’s confusing. The country’s left and right are anti immigration? If that’s the case, wouldn’t stricter controls on immigration be easier to implement?
DP. No, because of the EU's unpopular open doors policies.
This exactly. The EU is preventing traditional vetting which had previously been in place.

Life there is a lot harder than it used to be, and immigrants don’t assimilate at all, unlike the US. I’m not at all surprised.
