Going to talk about the state of Dutch politics again. If you ever pay attention to them, please let it be now.

So like. We're now about 18 hours after the polls closed. The PVV has gained 2 more seats than even the exit polls estimated. The major left-wing parties have both immediately positioned themselves as opposition parties, so unless a big shift happens, the slight hope for a center government is pretty much shot through. We are looking at a (far) right cabinet that is going to do their best to fuck everything up and reverse even the little bits of progress that the past half a dozen or so center-right cabinets still managed to pull off.

And yeah I know that Wilders has been acting like he's going to be "milder" than he's been in the past. And I know that half of what the PVV wants they can't do from a simple constitutional and legal standpoint. But the fact is that they got 37 out of 150 seats. Almost a quarter of our electorate. OVER 2.4 MILLION PEOPLE, are apparently willing to agree with the hateful, islamophobic, racist, queerphobic, climate-denying, insane fucking ideas of Geert Wilders and his PVV. Or at the very least, they're willing to be okay with it. Sure not all of them will agree, but a FUCKING QUARTER OF OUR POPULATION is willing to say "okay yeah I'm fine with you saying those things. I'm fine with you implementing these ideas." And that's not even considering those who voted for other parties that hold similar ideals.

That's the worst part of all this to me. I am dreading a far right government. I am dreading which changes they WILL be able to implement. But above all I'm terrified of knowing that over a quarter of our fucking country is just, okay with it. A quarter of the country is willing to vote for the "less morrocans" guy. A quarter of the country is willing to vote for the guy wanting to ban islam. Wanting to pretty much stop taking in any refugees and sending them all back. Wanting to ban fucking LGBT education and what not. I am not even close to being their primary target. Sure I'm trans and queer and what not. But I'm still white and Dutch. I fear not just for myself. I fear way more for those in this country who look at this election, and see a party who downright says they don't belong here. They will face more hate. And I can't do much about that. But the least I can do is not shut up. I can try and show them that there are still plenty people here who do stand with them. And while I don't agree with him on some things, I do agree with Frans Timmermans in saying that at this point, we need to stand up straight, we need to look at the people who feel they might not belong in this country, and tell them we Have. Their. Backs.

And I know there's more shit going on in the world. I know most people on this site don't care much for Dutch politics. But I need to talk about it for once because honestly it's fucking terrifying. We looked on when Trump got elected. We spread your news on all that. Maybe this once, now our own Trump has pretty much won here, you'll look to our country, and at least, see what's going on. It might not be a war or anything on that order of magnitude. But it still fucking matters

Gli europei si stanno ribellando contro Net Zero

Negli ultimi dieci anni circa, i politici tradizionali di tutta Europa hanno smesso di promettere di migliorare il tenore di vita dei loro elettori.

Invece, si sono vantati dei loro piani per limitarlo.

Hanno esaltato le virtù di un costo della vita più elevato, della deindustrializzazione e delle restrizioni alle libertà personali.

E si aspettavano che la maggior parte delle persone non se ne sarebbe preoccupata o forse addirittura se ne sarebbe accorta, perché tutto ciò doveva essere fatto in nome del "salvataggio del pianeta" dal cambiamento climatico.

Ma nel 2023, quel consenso dell’élite verde si è schiantato sulla Terra.

La crescente rabbia pubblica nei confronti di Net Zero ha iniziato a scuotere un'élite politica compiacente. In effetti, l’opposizione al greenismo è oggi uno dei principali motori del populismo europeo.

Ha portato la gente in strada, con le proteste degli agricoltori nei Paesi Bassi e Irlanda e, più recentemente, Germania. E ha ispirato una serie di rivolte alle urne.

A novembre, Geert Wilders, attaccabrighe dell'estrema destra e scettico sul clima, ha ottenuto una vittoria elettorale shock, sconfiggendo il suo rivale più vicino, Frans Timmermans, l'architetto e il volto delle politiche climatiche dell'UE.

In Germania, una disputa sulle pompe di calore ha recentemente minacciato di far cadere il governo, di cui il Partito dei Verdi è uno dei partner minori della coalizione.

La “legge sul riscaldamento” proposta dalla Germania avrebbe vietato l’installazione di nuove caldaie a gasolio e gas.

Inoltre, questo costo doveva essere imposto a una nazione che si sta già riprendendo da una grave crisi energetica, dove le bollette delle famiglie sono tra le più alte d'Europa e dove industrie critiche stanno chiudendo a causa degli esorbitanti costi energetici.

Più o meno nello stesso periodo, dall'altra parte della Manica, il presidente francese Emmanuel Macron ha chiesto una "pausa" nelle nuove norme ambientali.

Aveva già imparato a sue spese che il pubblico non sopporterà politiche ambientali rigorose.

Nel 2018 e nel 2019, un'eco-tassa sul carburante ha scatenato proteste gilets jaunes durate un anno la ribellione pubblica più significativa avvenuta in Francia dal maggio ’68.

La classe politica deve riconoscere che gli elettori non vogliono pagare bollette energetiche più alte, pagare una cifra esorbitante per l’uso della propria auto o installare pompe di calore costose e inaffidabili invece delle affidabili caldaie a gas.

Come hanno dimostrato le rivolte dello scorso anno, nessun discorso sul “salvare il pianeta” potrà cambiare la situazione. L’opinione pubblica non si lascerà ingannare dai tentativi di etichettare l’austerità come “verde”.

Nel 2024, abbiamo bisogno di una nuova politica che metta gli standard di vita delle persone al centro. L’abbandono di Net Zero sarebbe il punto di partenza perfetto.

Summary of the evening

Dutch voters cast their ballots in a snap parliamentary election on Wednesday called after the collapse of the outgoing coalition government headed by Mark Rutte.

Geert Wilders’ far-right, anti-Islam Party for Freedom (PVV) is on course to be the largest party in the Dutch parliament, according to exit polls, in a major electoral upset whose reverberations will be felt around Europe.

It is unclear whether Wilders – who has always been shut out of government – will be able to win enough support to form a coalition. He said this evening that “no party can ignore us any longer”.

Exit polling put the PVV at 35 seats. The Green-Labour alliance, led by Frans Timmermans, has 25 seats, while the People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), led by Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius, got 24 seats, according to the polling.

Yeşilgöz-Zegerius said “it is big lesson to politicians. They haven’t listened enough to the people and haven’t offered enough workable solutions”.

Far right figures from across the continent, including Marine Le Pen, Matteo Salvini and Santiago Abascal, celebrated the PVV’s performance.

Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orbán, said that “the winds of change are here”.

Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, said the Dutch election is “a reminder to progressives everywhere – the continued threat of the far-right is real and on our doorstep”.

giiiiiirl my dutch homies frans timmermans current european commissioner actually did it he's running for prime minister for the combined parties of pvda and groenlinks. I wasn't sure he'd want to do that because he has such a big career that he'd have to gamble with for the chance of being prime minister, but he did it and acknowledged that it's at the risk of just being present in the tweede kamer instead if they don't win. like he's going for it. girls this is genuinely monumental. pvda and groenlinks have been attempting this fusion for many years and they DID IT and instead of either party's biggest current name, they enlisted THE frans timmermans current european commissioner because they know the Dutch people if nothing else love a big stable name in politics (see, infamous Mark Rutte still winner of 13 years), and because frans timmermans can unite them as two parties becoming one. this is huge I NEED you all to vote for this. THIS is the path to change that we've been trying to get for the past 13 years this is THE way to ACTUALLY achieve in a green and left progressive future with a focus on both climate and the working class for our country I promise you I swear this is so big if he makes it. If the pvda/groenlinks fusion with frans timmermans as a figurehead make it, it will be the biggest thing in Dutch politics of the past decade. Do NOT get apathetic on me now they are out there risking everything for this future and it is achievable.

#dutch politics #the netherlands #pvda #groenlinks #verkiezingen #I know a different party at the head of the tweede kamer doesn't instantly fix everything but I swear this is big if they win

I voted - and threw my ideals overboard (somewhat) to keep the racists out of our government.

Frans Timmermans don't let me down.
