  • In a landmark election, Dutch voters have resoundingly backed Geert Wilders' right-wing Party for Freedom, echoing a rising wave of right-wing populism across Europe. This significant political shift in the Netherlands raises crucial questions about its implications for both the nation and the European Union. "EU Flash" will explore these dynamics, providing clear, concise analysis.

    The most difficult thing about this election was not who to choose, but how to unfold the ballot, because the booth wasn’t wide enough for an A0 ballot with 26 parties listed on it. The unfolding and the folding back of the ballot took more time than the actual marking of the dot on the ballot with the red pencil.

    I don’t understand why the EU wants to die on the open migration hill. The fact the the EU has aligned itself against any attempt to control migration puts it on a grave danger. While the European people all across the continent voting against letting anyone in without any control, the EU needs to distance itself from open migration policy, and reform itself to a tighter migration policy, or the EU project might collapse. People want to be part of the EU but also wants tighter migration policy, those two doesn’t have to be separated. Brussels needs to wake up.

      Well, the reason why the EU stimulates mass immigration is because they want to get rid of nationalism (dutch nationalism, german nationalism, etc). Nationalism is what hinders the EU's project to abolish national democracy in favour of a big EU state. As a dutchman im quite happy Wilders' party won even though i didn't vote for his party. The radical-extreme left is a danger as big as the extreme right nazies last century.

In such a scenario that you just described, too much immigration that alters the supply is bad, because it perpetuates said salaries low enough for the natives not to work in the coresponding jobs. And what would you do when poorer european countries have emptied from people? Will you then start importing people from Africa and Asia, replacing the native population with less beautiful ones?

    Immigration was the most deciding factor of voting in the Netherlands, all to no surprise except for some people in their ivory towers. The Netherlands has a massive housing shortage for example.

      Immigration was such a huge issue, because it affects several other factors, it affects housing, it affects security and wellbeing at the places where these immigrants are housed (and denied proper methods to integrate), it also affect income disparity, with them willing to work for less. This also holds back important innovation, as manual labor is cheap enough, so that machine or robotic solutions aren't invested in. Lastly, immigrants costs a ton of money, at least the overwhelming majority has no value to the dutch economy at all and will cost over an average of €300 to 400K per person over several years before having any return at all. With them coming in by the thousands (over 220K in 2022), this is simply unafforable, despite our unsustainably high tax rates.
      There were other important topics that mattered to all but the richest of voters, the cost of living has risen immensely over the last years, there is a huge housing shortage, our healthcare is too expensive and almost broken to the brink of collapse (waiting lists and underpaid and understaffed hospitals and gp's), our public transport is too expensive and barely functions, we have pollution and health concerns around the Tata Steel plant, Schiphol Airport, Biomass Energyreactors and other large chemically polluting factories.
      Meanwhile other parties are more focused on the global and EU agenda of climate solutions that are ridiculously expensive and unsure to even help, or they want to buy out or reduce the numbers of farmers, who are not only highly succesful, but also the ecologically most advanced in the world. This view is not shared among the vast majority of the dutch voters, they care more about keeping our economy and food production and reducing ACTUAL pollution over questionable energy sources like wind and solar.

    People and EU members don't have to worry about Nexit. Even Dutch citizens don't favor an exit from the EU. The main priority of the Netherlands and Geert Wilders is reduce migrant influx, resolving housing crisis, better accessible healthcare and more purchasing power for common people. People voted him on these issues. Even Geert Wilders himself mentioned before election what would be his priority. Nexit was never mentioned by him in any election campaigns this time.

    • @You-mr3lo
      @You-mr3lo 6 місяців тому

      Partly correct. A nexit will never happen due to the Dutch polder model... such a decision must be supported by the majority of the 2nd chamber and must be approved by the 1st chamber... so a nexit will never happen. The fact that a Nexit does not happen has nothing to do with the voting behavior of the PVV voters. In fact, the PVV voter is poorly informed about how things work in the EU. EU regulations and treaties are largely the cause of the problems (housing shortage due to environmental treaty and too little construction for years), the EU immigration treaty ensures that the borders cannot simply be closed to migrants. In short, the PVV solutions are only possible with a nexit, which is not going to happen.

      @@TheIndianTechie007 Disagree wat you want. The largest company in the Netherlands, ASML, cannot do without highly educated knowledge students. Brabant has been the innovation hub of Europe for some time, but complains that it is so difficult to absorb these promising migrants. This would mean that Brainport's growth would once again be thwarted. Not such a great idea to keep students out, but to concentrate them in regions. For example, ASML has opened a second office in 's-Hertogenbosch. That city can house the Knowledge Hub together with the Eindhoven region.
      This makes it possible to take into account the other "lesser-privileged" migrants who can be spread across the Randstad and the rest of the Netherlands.
      Family reunification... then we are talking about 3.6 percent of migrants, and only 2.8 percent if you include Ukraine. That's going to make a big difference? Then the rights of family members of asylum seekers. According to the quote below, the EU only allows conditions to be adjusted. They may not be excluded from the labor market for more than 12 months "Rights of family members Article 14 of the Family Reunification Directive lays down a number of rights for family members. The family members have, among other things, the right to access education. In addition, family members have access to vocational guidance, vocational training and further training. Family members may also work as employed persons or as self-employed persons. Member States may establish further conditions regarding employment or self-employment. Member States may not exclude family members from access to the labor market or self-employment for more than 12 months."

    To clarify, the PVV of Geert Wilders is actually only really rightwing on 3 issues: Reducing immigration, reducing funding for climate funds by focusing on adaptive control measures or cheap alternatives like isolating housing and lastly they are primarily focused on issues concerning dutch citizens. (which means also reducing EU influence)
    On pretty much every other topic, they are considerably on the left spectrum, willing to invest in housing, health care and reducing the costs of living for lower income people, for example.
    You could easily argue it is a good thing, considering the situation in the Netherlands. Shockingly, the establishment parties are not happy with this, despite this being a very clear democratic victory, they are often unwilling to work with Wilders. The dutch citizens couldn't care less, the voting total for those establishment parties were less than half of what they had at the last elections, it is a clear punishment for years of political malpractice and corruption.

    Although the Dutch referendum was consultative and not binding, the House of Representatives factions that were themselves in favor also stated that they would respect the result. Due to the outcome, the cabinet subsequently withdrew the bill that was supposed to regulate official approval.
    The question put to voters was: Are you for or against the Netherlands' acceptance of the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe?

    2 GRAINs OF SALT :
    1. Dutch senate has increased its importance last years. This opens windows for mixed votes on politics and chances for opposition parties, because a majority in the senate is not guaranteerd for the current coalition options. This offers more freedom for both chambers to influence the coming government, regardless of ruling parties.
    2. A strong culture of coalitions with 2+ parties. The far-right has no choice to accept the reservations of pro-EU parties like the VVD. BBB and NSC are more conservative but still moderate in their EU vision.

    Why do people seem to think that the EU is super open to immigration? Instead of seeing what a challenge and headache it is, no matter who is in charge?
    Objectively, its effects are somewhat overblown and people refuse to look at the whole picture. But also, it's not like there's a simple switch that leaders in the past have refused to flip, and anti-establishment parties would do any better managing this or governing in general. Regarding illegal immigration, the push factors are so immense, just how much resistance do you really think can and should be put up to stem the flow?
    Geographically, the EU doesn't have as many advantages as the UK and the US do to make "the problem" go away.

      Why do people think that the EU is super open to immigration? Because it obviously is.
      Guarding the borders is not actually that complicated. Nations have done it for hundreds of years, and that was before they had drones and sensors and all kind of technology.
      What should be done? Any boat approaching European coasts should be intercepted and towed back to Africa. Any ship that has brought illegal migrants should be confiscated and the crew arrested and prosecuted. Anyone who who provides financial support or organizes in any way the transit of illegals across the borders (like some NGOs who own the ships carrying people across Mediteranean Sea) should be considered as organized crime and treated accordingly. Stuff like that!
      You don't even have to change the laws, most countries already have the proper laws, they just don't enforce them.
      What is done instead? Criminal charges are brought against Matteo Salvini for not allowing a ship full of migrants into Italian ports. Accusations are brought against Hungary for building a wall (more like a fence, really). BBC & Co. histerically yellling around the clock that Poland is racist for not wanting migrants. Have we forgotten Angela Merkel's declarations?
      So yes, the leadership of Europe is all for migrants. It's ridiculous to claim otherwise.

    2: There is no rising of right-wing in the Netherlands. PVV is not even right, it cannot be extreme right. Its only 'right wing' opinion is on immigration, it is more a center left party.
    3: We vote on PEOPLE not on parties!!!!!! I cannot understand how no one ever looked at the Dutch vote list and then think you are voting on a party. You vote on a person, the person that gets the most votes gets the first attempt to form a new government as its prime minister. It just so happens that every person is affiliated with a party and most people are lazy so they simply color - with a red pencil, all electronic options proved too easy to hack - the first name on the party they want to vote on, but please realize that this is a vote for an individual!

      I can add to it that there is no mention of parties in the dutch constitution, the concept of parties is actually currently messing up trias politica that the other winner out of nowhere Omtzigt wants to address, there is more to it than meets the eye here. Wilders is accused of going against the constitution by Omtzigt whom wants to change the constitution hence also wants to go against it basically but he considers himself as justified unjust and Wilders as just unjust, no pun. Pressure for change is coming from defacto realistically centered left, ironically. The problem over here was also extreme economical right politics combined with extreme left woke ideologie which makes people extremely confused because it goes into all possible directions, the reality is not aligned anymore with the classical idea of left/right. It is not clean swapped instead it is interleaved with each other and it creates new directions.

      @jesseverkaik7671 larger governments are less accountable due to having too many functions to keep on top of, thus allowing corruption to be more likely. Also, larger governments require more funding, which requires money printing or excessive tax burdens - which both rob the people of their wealth; either directly or via inflation.
      Then there is the issue that the larger the government, the more power it has, which isn't a good scenario if the wrong leader gets put in place who abuses that power.
      A healthy balance is necessary, though, as a too small government is less capable of reacting to emergencies.

It’s time to put a stop to the unchecked migration, and the welfare provided to migrants that encourages them to come in massive amounts. There should be checks and balances about which migrants can enter, prioritize those that are educated and can immediately start giving back to the economy and immediately deport with a lifetime ban on entering the EU any migrant that is found to spread violent rhetoric, support towards terrorism, rape, murder, theft… or in other words: any migrant that’s not an upstanding citizen and isn’t interested in integrating to the country they migrated to has no place in the EU and should be deported.

    When it comes to immigration and migration of people, the EU has limited powers in what it can actually do as most of it is still at national level, normally that wouldn't matter but being in a union of open boarders changes it where it impacts all EU members, the real problem isn't the EU as such, it's the problem of having a union of open boarders whiles at the same time having each EU member having it's own policy on immigration.
    Basically, major reforms are needed and if the EU countries want to continue having open boarders among themselves, they really need to give powers to the EU to enforce its external boarders and immigration policies, otherwise you'll keep getting 27 different voices pulling in all directions, which is where the real mess is.

      The Netherlands has the highest population density in Europe at 416/km^2. The areas the migrants want to live in, the cities, have at least 3000/km^2. We simply dont have space for more people. This country was declared full at 15 million inhabitants. We now have 18 million. It has to stop. We have to have population decline, and if not for mass import, we would have it thanks to aging population, low birthrates, and emigration.
      The EU has already started a collaborative border control agency called Frontex, and they are doing their job. The number of illegal migrants that arrived in the Netherlands this year is less than half of what was projected. Unfortunately, we still cant house all of them and they are sleeping in tents, or under open sky, outside the asylum centers. We simply cannot provide them with the bare minimum, a roof over their head, food, water, and hygiene. We are overwhelmed.
      Our own citizens cant even find a roof over their head, many people have to move back in with their parents due to rising cost of living and lack of affordable housinh.

      Als je een groep mensen haat omdat ze lid van een bepaalde groep zijn, dan heb je geen solidariteit.
      Zeg gewoon dat je buitenlanders haat, wees geen laffaard en doe alsof je om andere mensen geeft.

    "An Overwhelming amount..." is probably going too far. Wilders got the vote of about 20% of eligible voters. 1 in 5 is not "Overwhelming".

      In a political landscape as fragmented as the Dutch one, that's quite an achievement though.

      Except that it is.
      There are two arguments here that need discussing:
      Firstly, there's the old argument that a winning party only got X% of the vote and thus "doesn't represent the majority".
      However, you won't find very many elections where the winner gets over 50% of the vote and thus "represents the majority" of their country. The Netherlands have several parties and so the vote is inevitably going to be split several ways. It is very, very difficult to get over 50% of the vote in those circumstances.
      Secondly, there is the argument presented here that the winner "only got X% of the votes of elegible voters".
      Again, it's a poor argument that assumes all those who didn't vote wouldn't have voted for the winner!
      Both are arguments made by losers to make themselves feel better.

      At the same time, you seem to be stranded in pedantics, since his first point explained really well what a political landslide victory is. In elections no one in NL will receive a majority vote where one party can rule alone.

    We do not need a majority in the Netherlands to form a government. Pieter Omtzicht (NSC) prefers a minority government in witch case the government would have to seek support in the lower chamber when it wants to make new laws.

      I assume you are from some country in Balkans or around there, dont worry. We finally got Croatia in the eurozone and we are happy to take all your land and acquire your capital, erm, I mean, welcome you to our free trade union. As far as the Dutch are concerned, the more tariff-free trade partners we can ship cheap chinese plastic to for a small fee, the merrier. The people you should be worried about are ze Germans.
