Expert my arse. Dutch Nazi Geert Wilders (24% of the vote 2023) collapsed the government coalition they were part off because support of falling for the PVV and his personal ambition is to become Prime Minister. Prime Minister Dick Schoof confirmed he was stepping down on Tuesday and offered the resignation of the cabinet to King Willem-Alexander. In televised remarks following an emergency cabinet meeting, Schoof said Wilders' decision to withdraw the support of his PVV party was "irresponsible and unnecessary". Which it was. The row which led to its collapse came after Wilders pushed for 10 additional asylum measures, including a freeze on applications, halting the construction of reception centres and limiting family reunification. Schoof had made a last-minute appeal to coalition party leaders on Tuesday morning, but the meeting lasted just one minute before Wilders walked out, ending the coalition. There was shock and anger among political leaders, many of whom pointed out that several of Wilders' demands were similar to policies already in the coalition agreement, and that they would not stand in the PVV's way to implement them. Many of the additional proposals put forward by Wilders had been dismissed during coalition talks because of legal concerns. Wilders' decision has put an end to an uneasy governing coalition which was born in July 2024 after months of political wrangling following elections the previous year. His anti-immigration, far-right PVV was the largest party. The other members were the conservative-liberal VVD, the Farmers' Citizen Movement (BBB) and the centrist New Social Contract. Dutch Nazi Geert Wilders mother was born in Indonesia and his father was traumatised by the actual Nazis. Quite a contrast isn't it not? When he returned to the Netherlands from ("Israel" West Bank), he retained Israeli ideas about counter-terrorism and a "special feeling of solidarity" for the country. Not working out well for Gaza and the West Bank is it? If you are from Scotland, or indeed the UK, most don't pay too much attention to mainland Europe. I had to look some of the specific's up myself.
