Oh you still can. Nothing will really change. Still has to make coalitions, compromisses blablabla if thats possible and if not well maybe new elections. Is he extreme? Yes allthi he seems to have lighten up a bit who knows. But its not like other countries. A Prime Minister is not a total ruler only a sort of spokes person. All the parties have to agree on things to make shit happen, and is why everything goes so slow here. Its not the best explanation but its the gist of it. Its still shit he MAY represent every dutch person but its not done yet. It way better then thierry beaudet (cunt).
There a lot of assdicks in our parties.
Not sure where you’d be moving from, but as an American… Even their craziest far-right dude is basically just a racist socialist. He’s got some bad ideas, for sure, but half of them are racism and the other half are “so some of the shit that hasn’t worked for America.”
I’m not saying that makes it okay. I’m surprised and disappointed in the Netherlands. But compared to most of America’s politicians, he seems downright reasonable.
The main anti-islam laws aren’t gonna fly anytime soon. They require a change in the foundational law (art. 1), which takes a 75% majority of the parliament elected by the next election. Not something easily achieved.
The more worrying parts are the hype to incarceration, having a zero-policy system that badly punishes without any merit but to lock people up, further stressing the already trembling mental health system.
And there are plenty of election promises that only get carried by this party. Abandoning the EU, for example, will be something the part wouldn’t get any support in from other mayor parties and is likely to be culled.
But it’s all just hypothetical, not sure what’ll happen next, it won’t be quick that’s for sure.
Welp, there goes my willingness to move to the Netherlands.
