A farmers' party has stunned Dutch politics, and is set to be the biggest party in the upper house of parliament after provincial elections.

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.

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?

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.

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.

I found a way to get tumbleweed interested in this discussion:

"Trump and Le Pen backed these Dutch farmers – now they’ve sprung an election shock

By Sophie Tanno, CNN"

Just ask Seb, the farmers are giant mega conglomerates fighting the small business owners who just want a non polluted planet for their trisexual offspring to grow up in.
