Well done to the Dutch for rejecting the far right hatred party. That's the Dutch and the Austrians, I just hope the French show the same common sense that us and the Americans have lacked recently. |  | | |  |

The Tories are far-right?
Wishing to be outside of the EU is far-right?
Critical and analytical thinking not your strong point?
The education system in this country has been f*cked for a good while it seems. |  |

If the Dutch rejected it then how come Wilders gained seats? Granted the total number of seats he gained was far less than predicted from the opinion polls, but there's no need to be complacent. | |

The story is that;
- the centre-right were forced to move to some of Wilders' positions.
- the far-right are now the 2nd biggest party in the Netherlands.
- the Labour party were destroyed (3/4 of their seats lost
- and the Green party did very well, as did the Dutch equivalent of the Lib Dems.
Politics in the Netherlands has moved further right and polarised...not unlike here, although I would argue that the far-right has very little influence on this country, as opposed to the Netherlands and France. | |

Yes, I would say the Tories are far right, they are certainly not the conservatives of years ago Austerity being a good example. Wishing to be outside the EU is not far right, but the reasons behind it are. Xenophobia and an extreme nationalism is indeed far right | | | |

But, that's not far right is it? | | | |

Blimey, the Dutch motherland used to be a shining light of tolerance, welcoming open arms and liberalism...
What could have possibly happened over the last 30 years to change that so dramatically?

He got 13% of the vote - 87% didn't vote for him. Just saying. | |

You are spectacularly missing the point ...
Try looking at the wider political vista in the Netherlands in 2017 and compare it to the 70s & 80's | | | |

Take a look in the mirror.
You are the problem.
That statement is both childish and stupid.
If anyone is "extreme" or "far"-anything it is the likes of you.
What have you got to be so bitter about?
You, and I, and all of us are some of the luckiest human beings on the planet. In terms of the World population we have won the lottery thanks to being born here.
The challenges we face in the future will have to be met together, we will need to work together. Different members of our population have different ways of thinking and will have different solutions, it has always been thus.
My own political party has not been in power in my lifetime and will possibly never be...some of our ideas have caught on though and been adopted by the two parties who have ruled.
I don't think anyone who supports (or participates with) either of these parties are "horrible, nasty, spiteful, people".
This attitude is not helpful, it is childish and vindictive.
"bereft of warm human qualities" you say...
Let me tell you something, there is somebody I know who has spent his whole life either working for oil companies or investing other people's money in stocks and shares...he has minimised the tax he has paid all the way and now, in his old age, describes himself as a "communist".
He has no real friends that I can tell keeps in contact with literally nobody from his past.
He spends a good deal of his conversation sneering at the state of the country and the state of the people he meets on his travels...he looks down on most of the working class he claims to care about. When we are in the company of somebody from that kind of background (my own as it goes) I am literally counting down the time before he says some kind of put down designed to go over their heads.
Every interaction is a transaction...if he does somebody a favour he expects his boots licked in return and a favour back down the line...if a favour in return is not forthcoming he holds this against them...meanwhile he doesn't even seem to notice all of the things people do for him.
This person sympathises with Corbyn and sympathises with Welsh independence and is a rabid remainer.
He believes himself to be morally superior to Conservatives.
He discounts my party, the Lib Dems, as somewhat of a joke; "I can't make out what they are for, you're neither one thing nor the other"
However, I must say, he has an awful lot of good qualities as well. He is very well read and we have interesting conversations, he also likes a good drink and can be funny.
People are people, regardless of their politics.
Don't kid yourself that you are somehow superior. | |

You're a LbDem member aren't you? Did you miss 2010-2015 when "your party" was in power as part of the coalition? That's quite some oversight. They had some Secretaries of State and at least one minister in every department. Got quite a bit of their manifesto on the statute books as well in one form or another and did a decent job of reigning in some of the Tory excesses during that period. I'm surprised you're so dismissive of it. |  |

Yes, and I've said all that before...and was slaughtered for it.
My point was that we have never won a GE and so I am well use to being on the losing side, yet haven't resorted to dismissing the winners as evil Nazi b*astards...but then you knew all that didn't you.
What IS the point. | |
