iChihuaha | Sun Mar 19 12:28:58 A farmers' party has stunned Dutch politics, and is set to be the biggest party in the upper house of parliament after provincial elections. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64967513 The virtuesignaling morons insist on straining gnats, pissing off huge parts of the population and achieve jack shit. All that social, political and financial capital wasted on windmills, EV infrastructure and shaming people for what they eat and where they travel will have consequeces. |

iChihuaha | Sun Mar 19 13:08:35 The BBC and every other source I am reading says they are winning most seats in the senate. At any rate the damage is done. Is there something populist brewing in Canada? |

Member | Sun Mar 19 13:09:01 On an individual party basis they're expected to gain the most seats. But yeah, there are two alliances that will match or outrank them. |

iChihuaha | Sun Mar 19 13:12:37 Ah I see. It will make Dutch politics more dysfunctional for sure. Maybe they can do what Swedish parties did for 10 years in vain and try to keep them (Sweden Democrats) from power. |
