Dennis 8,391 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 The global trend continues. Anti-Islam, far-right populist Geert Wilders, who has promised to halt all immigration to the Netherlands, is in the clear lead in parliamentary elections, an exit poll shows. His election programme called for a referendum on the Netherlands leaving the European Union, a halt to accepting asylum seekers and pushbacks of migrants at the Dutch borders. It also advocated the “de-Islamization” of the Netherlands. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/22/netherlands-votes-in-tight-election-with-far-right-expected-to-make-gains Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumzy3000 7,901 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I think Canada and US are also headed this way. Seems like people are upset at inflation, housing, and immigration issues and they want drastic changes. trolly troll troll Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

faysalaaa 5,336 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 The whole world is electing people like Trump and sending the same message, and it seems like the other side is in a constant state of shock, without even attempting to actually ask why. People want change, but neo liberals still want to push the establishment, status quo, corporate rule, bottom down we tell you what to do, you shut up and take it, if there is an economic crisis we blame you and punish you for it and bail the rich.. The whole world is vomiting these policies, they hate it, they will elect anyone that promises something new. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not The Real Gaga 7,582 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I think nobody expected this big of a victory but it isn't a surprise either. Immigration has been a hot item in the Netherlands for years. The PVV "owns this issue" (voters associate the PVV the most with this topic) Other right-wing parties, like VVD and CDA, have been part of the government and failed to deliver what many people want (less migration).

Even normies are becoming right leaning or have the same talking points. Most people who like Trump arent even hard core right wingers, they are normies that voted for Obama. Its more cool to be a right winger today even with the new generation, and people feel like you will be more accepting socially if you are right wing. Its becoming the norm now!

In the Netherlands they published the results this week of a large poll among highschoolers (and students I believe) which showed an enormous victory for (far-)right parties if it was up to those kids.

I really wonder why the youth is becoming more right-leaning, though. Maybe because younger people tend to be more 'rebelous' and anti-establishment?
