Dutch Election Thread

Turnout at 30% so far compared to 27% at the same time four years ago. 

 

The Hague: 27,2% -> 34,5%

Groningen: 32% -> 37,7%

 

I think turnout might be higher than 80% :udidnt: especially bigger cities are doing good. Long lines in train stations. Those are typical GL and D66 voters :excited2:

1. 9 PM local time will be the first exit polls, then the votes will be counted through the night. I expect that around 11:30 pm we will know who won/lost etc. The exact percentage will follow in the morning

2. I believe it has something to di with the many religions. We always vote on wednesday

probably too much traffic.

there's more than enough polling places here. Voting isn't much of a struggle at all and only takes 10 minutes while commuting or taking a work break. I think this actually gets more people to vote.

 

Perched for the results. I live in a PVV stronghold (Schiedam), but I have faith in the rest of the country.

Thanks for your responses.

 

Can you guys tell me the main concern? I guess what Europe is fearing is a "Nexit", which is what the fugly racist guy with the ridiculous haircut wants, but how would that be possible? I've read that no other political Party wants to form a coalition with the PVV, so how is he even a potential thread if he doesn't surprise us all with an unthinkable amount of votes?

:oprah:

Spoiler

Sorry for my naivity already... :awkney:

The foreign media has greatly exaggerated things. Populism is not a danger here. Dutch elections can't be "won". The PVV won't take part in government and Nexit is not at all a danger at the moment.

PVV is gonna flop hard because any other party wants to support them, even if they win. It's going to be a situation like FN's in France. Am I wrong?

Turn-out in Rotterdam only 8% away from 2012 levels!

In relation to 2012 elections, turnout is down in Delfshaven, Hillegersberg-Schiebroek and Noord while it's doing much better in Feijenoord and Centrum. I think DENK is failing to get minorities to vote like PvdA used to. Feijenoord doing so well is good for populist and left-wing parties. Centrum is good for progressive parties.

Trump and what's happening around the world is one more reason to support a constitutional monarchy. The kind of parliamentary system we have in Norway (and I assume the dutch system is somewhat similar) is a lot more stable than the american system. Our own right-wing populist party is actually one of the governing parties right now, and it's not really a big problem. They're not big enough to form a government on their own (they're not even the biggest party), so they have formed a government with regular conservatives. I can't imagine a right-wing populist party (or any other party) ever getting half the votes, so for the foreseeable future, this is how it's going to be. I suppose it's the same way in The Netherlands.
