New Populist Party Goes from Zero Seats to Largest Party in Dutch Election

A new populist, Eurosceptic party has achieved the remarkable feat of going from zero seats to becoming the largest single party in the Dutch Senate in a single election, as a young politician likened to a “Dutch Donald Trump” beat seasoned professionals in Wednesday’s poll.

Thierry Baudet’s Forum for Democracy party, which has gained attention for its Euroscepticism, campaigned against open borders politics and against what he calls “climate-change hysteria,” winning 86 seats across the Dutch regions. The victory put his party ahead of even the ruling mainstream conservative People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), which achieved 80 seats.

Forum was founded in 2016, and this is the first regional election the party has contested. Remarkably, in some Dutch regions Forum was so unexpectedly successful it won the right to appoint more elected members than they actually have registered candidates living in those areas.

The European Union is terrified of the upcoming EU Parliament election, because they are anticipating a parliament dominated by populists, climate skeptics and Euroskeptics who want to break up the union.

If skeptics do win control of the European Parliament, under the democratically deficient EU system elected members probably won’t have the power to change EU climate policy or break up the EU. But the skeptics may rob the unelected soviet style bureaucrats who really run the EU of the facade of democratic legitimacy they have enjoyed to date, thanks to their rubber stamp parliament of tame elected Europhiles.

Britain’s best hope of being ejected from the EU in the next few weeks is Eurocratic fear that Britain’s anticipated hardcore climate skeptic and Eurosceptic voting block might tip the balance in the next European parliament.

How can I support the Dutch today in purchasing items and tech? The anti-boycott also works.

The far-left voices in media already have called the new party far-right, in an attampt to paint it so fringe it should not be handshaked with without single-use gloves.

In reality the the ‘populist’ parties in Europe are already mainstream, having vote shares at 15% range, same as many other parties and larger than that of the communists.

I think it’s time to update that 97% consensus estimate. Even if the figure dropped to, say, 88% that would represent a 4x increase in the size of the skeptic camp. Then a later study can show a true estimate and further momentum away from the CAGW consensus.

The vast majority of the people believe what they are told, and the vast majority of the people have been lied to.

A brief history lesson about the E.U. and the UK.

Following the end of WW 2, France having been invaded twice by Germany,1914 and 1940 worried that it could happen again after the very industries Germans recovered from the War .

So Charles De Gaulle and others in France did a deal with Germany for a
economic union. Other European countries seeing the idea of a bigger
market for their exports also joined.

Now at this time the UK had a good deal going with the nations of the
British Commonwealth. These were mainly Australia, New Zealand and
Canada, plus the USA too. As with all good deals it was a case of the UK importing what it needed, meat, minerals etc, and in return exporting to those countries. It was a Win/ Win situation as all good deals should be.

But the head of the UK businesses wanted more, they wanted trade with this new European market. But the were strong objections by President De Gaulle of France who hated the Anglo Saxon block, especially the fact that the English language had taken over from his beloved French language as a world language.

He also considered the USA to be a part of the Anglo Saxon block, despite its mix of races. Oddly enough he never considered that Anglo Saxon is a
Germanic thing from 2000 years ago, so was happy with his union with
modern Germany.

Some years later the UK was allowed entry to the EU, but only if it severed
all of its links trade wise with the Commonwealth. This was a major blow
to mainly New Zealand, and lesser to bigger Australia. Canada suffered bout having the US market next door was able to cope. All succeeded in
establishing new businesses with other countries.

Slowly the EU got bigger, and the bureaucrats took over, a sort of Parliament was established in Brussels and as with all such bodies Empire Building tookplace, but hey had to justify this increase in size. So with the willing politicians all for the concept of a truly United State of Europe, it became very political.

The final straw was a single currency, the ERO. It seemed such a good idea,all of the money changers had to find new jobs. But then Greece happened,they asked to join the EU, and told big fibs about their economy. Once in they were granted big loans to modernise from a rural to a industrial economy.

But the Greeks living in a nice sunny, warm climate were not all that keen to change their way of life, so they rapidly employed a very large part of their working people in Government Jobs, all paid for by mainly German Banks.

Of course one day the Banks asked for returns on their loans, this came as a
big shock to the Greeks, fancy having to pay money back. So of course
Greece was Bankrupt.

Now in the pre ERO days a country in dire straights simply de-valued their
currency and did it tough for a few years until they fixed their economy,
but with a single currency they could not do this. Not sure how they are
getting on, probably more borrowing to pay back the earlier loons, until the EU wipes off the debt.

Then we had Mercal and her background in East Germany under
Communism, she decided to accept up to a million fit young men of a mix of Middle Eastern and African so called “Refugees”. She apparently thought of them in the same way that it was good to have East Germans move to West Germany as Refugees.

Now it seems that the UK has the best, perhaps we should call t, “Generous”
social security scheme, so a lot of these refugees drifted to the UK, which is
grossly overpopulated already. That was probably the straw that broke the camels back.

The other problems was that as it is the richest country it is require ed to pay the biggest “Fee” to the EU coffers. This was big money and he EU will miss it.

They are saying that the UK must still pay for many years to come for
schemes dreamed up when he UK was a member.

With 5 days to the 29th , the day for the UK to leave the EU and no deal, its going to be of great interest to see what is going to happen.

Yes I know, I did say “A brief History”. Sorry about that .

GASEOUS AL GORE, DOOMSDAY CULT CHAIRMAN OF THE APOCALYPSE

“If an age is imbued with an error, some always derive advantage from the error, while the rest have to suffer from it.”
— Max Stirner

The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Women and orphans hardest hit!

The planet has been “cooling” for at least the past 20 years, or so — the recent cook-the-books massage job by NOAA notwithstanding. And the so-called “experts” have never “once” demonstrated, recorded, or proven human causation for “any” global warming — it’s all been projections based on computer models subject to bad historical data, divergent / incompatible or inconsistent instrumentation, exaggeration and the-sky-is-falling alarmism, and manipulation-for-profit — for taxpayer-paid government grants, carbon-credits schemes, and studies required by environmentalist wacko government regulations. Climate change occurs — this is “old news” — and human action has never been proven the cause of climate change.

The anthropogenic [“man-made”] global warming religion has proven very profitable for those who own the religion and who drag around by the rings in their noses the useful idiots, airheads, and drooling, googley-eyed, bobble-headed sycophants who have an intense itch to be followers, “a part of a cause bigger than themselves” — who project an arrogant condescension onto ignorant [unbrainwashed] dissidents.

Contemplate Gaseous Al Gore — that lying sack of nevermind and doomsday cult Chairman Of The Apocalypse — who sold his failed global-warming alarmist TV station to Al Jazeera — a propaganda arm of some murderous oil dictatorship, somewhere out there in Kaboomistan.

Now, didn’t Al Gore buy a 6,500 square-foot, $9 million, very-high carbon-footprint mansion in Montecito — “only” 480 feet above sea level where it is sure to be inundated by the HUGELY TOWERING WAVES of polar ice cap melt celebrated in scare-em-silly fictional environmentalist quack movies — if his boolsheet theory of man-made global warming actually proves true to reality? And this is in addition to his 10,000 square-foot mansion in Tennessee, another huge carbon footprint! And hasn’t OhBummer already bought the ocean-front Magnum-PI property in Hawaii? His bloody “rising seas” ought to swamp and drown him — else he is a lying hypocrite.

I have no problem with people becoming fabulously rich in the capitalist system, but the stink of hypocrisy of Gaseous Al Gore — that lying fascist skunk — is annoying. He must be laughing up his sleeve at all the idiots who have enriched him through his scam, his hoax, his fraudulent religion — man-made global warming.

So desperate now are the profiteers of his nutty religion that they are resorting once again to Hollyweird for scary big-screen movies and TV shows to carry their lunatic propaganda.

They turn scientific method on its head, demanding that skeptics prove “that there is not” any man-made global warming, but no one is obliged to prove any such thing — for the same reason that we are not obliged to prove that the moon “is not” made of green cheese.

It tells me something useful about opposing the former OhBummer dictatorship when my reference to the moon and the green cheese was hijacked for an OhBummer speech. Possibly his speech was written by Biden The Magnificent, that lobotomized serial plagiarist who served as OhBummer’s principal criminal accessory.

The ecofreaks and enviromaniacs? Destroy them. Let’s just focus on ensuring clean air and clean water.
