  • Dutch Farmer Party wins bigly

    From ScottW@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 16 20:43:34 2023
    A farmers’ party has stunned Dutch politics, and is set to be the biggest party in the upper house of parliament after provincial elections.

    The Farmer-citizen movement (BBB) was only set up in 2019 in the wake of widespread farmers’ protests.

    But with most votes counted they are due to win 15 seats of the Senate’s seats with almost 20% of the vote.

    “This isn’t normal, but actually it is! It’s all normal citizens who voted,” said leader Caroline van der Plas.

    "Liberal Democracy is dead"

    She nailed it.....beautifully.
