Not Just Bikes 🇳🇱May 28

I am so glad to hear that the far-right PVV have finally fallen in the polls, and the left-wing GroenLinks/PvdA are now the highest-polling party in the Netherlands.

I really hope this trend can continue into the next election.

If there's one thing far-right parties are good at, it's screwing thing up when they're actually in power.

Hopefully the majority of Dutch voters can realise this before the PVV can do too much damage.

One year into power and the largest party in the Netherlands, Party for Freedom, is collapsing in the polls. In this video, we're taking a look at how PVV came to power, why its voters are unhappy, and what could happen next.

@notjustbikes I agree they screw up and the damage they do can be immense. I am starting to believe the damage is deliberate as it causes fear and rage which they can then f'arm' for the next election

@Robo105 a lot of right-wing parties follow the "Starve the Beast" strategy of purposefully crippling public services, so that they can use the fact the public service isn't working as a justification for privitising it:
