You want your grandchilderen to learn Arab instead of Dutch and pork to be banned, go ahead, i'm not taking part of this **** culture where waving the national flag is seen as racist but a foreign flag is seen as cultural enrichment.
Stop being so dramatic. Muslims make up 5% of the population, my grandkids aren't going to speak Arabic any time soon. But feel free to move to a place where there are no scary dark-skinned people at all

Good point.
Should've worked with computers, paper is old fashion and can't be trusted.

Spain says hello to you.

In fact about the monthly income is more than 4 times that amount if we take the gross income and the crime rates... amongst the safest. The other 2 are also applied by far, the best climate in Europe

Well wasn't the Turkish incident supposed to give MORE votes to Wilders? But no.

But this banana republic could count those votes a BIT faster. 5 hours and 160 districts still to report...

But at least, if you're tired of a two-party system, move to the Netherlands! 13 parties getting representatives...

The 5% stat is from almost 10 years ago.
The muslim % today is closer to 9% if you include the refugees, don't forget they are making like 4 kids per couple, where ethnic Dutch only make 1 because the country is too expensive and we don't have enough time to take the care they need.

Please stop insinuating i'm racist because i'm not, Arab is the official language of muslims (if you don't know at least the basics of the language your not considered a true muslim in their eyes).
Muslim is not a race so you can't call me a racist.

Half of my friends are Thai and they are darker-skinned than most Arabs.

I think we should have less parties in the Netherlands, i think 10 should be the maximum.
Forum for Democracy (new party) got 2 seats and almost has the exact same program as the PVV, why not unite?

Guess looking up how such democracies work then. Such democracies ( including Canada, Israel, Germany, UK, ..yikes most) have multi-parties..and yes.. the highest % get to lead a "Coalition" so behooves the leader to work with other party members.

USA 2 party system is proving to be a failure... since it's become more and more apparent that the big tent version isn't working... Even the Big Tent with multi-factions cannot agree unless it's to defeat whomever is in power at the time (opposition party). Look at what's happening now is US.. many GOP elected politicians cannot stand Trump.. disagree on much of his agenda... The HC law is just a taster of what's to come.

Coalitions work much better..forces all sides to work together.. it's not a 51/49 equivalent.. It's more inclusive and brings more sides into the mix. The soonerAmerican's comes to terms with this the better. The citizens all want the government to work for them.. not some ideological heavily funded lobbyist to control what laws get passed etc.

Congrats to Netherlands! Out of the 13 various parties.. it's going to completely marginalize any EXTREME views!!
