The Netherlands will be, as far as I know, the first European country where an election will take place during the ongoing Covid-19 situation. There is one political party that is gaining more and more popularity, and it's called Forum voor Democratie (FvD, Forum for Democracy) led primarily by politician Thierry Baudet and Wybren van Haga. FvD 1. is against mandatory vaccination and the vaccination passport 2. is sceptical about the vaccines' safety 3. wants to lift ALL lockdown measures 4. is against man-made global warming measures 5. wants to find different solutions for refugees with a different cultural background who want to come to the Netherlands (proposes housing in their own region, in countries such as Qatar). These are the main points I've understood from their party so far.
Worthy to note: At the beginning, Baudet was first taken in by the Covid-19 narrative (and supported a lockdown), but soon realized what was going on and changed his position on the matter.
I'm quite amazed at the things Baudet and van Haga have been saying in the past several months, because they are going completely against the PTB's agenda. At times I wanted to translate their speeches (in particular that of van Haga), to post here, but often can't find the time to do so, and I hope they'll add English subtitles to their videos! But what they say is mostly information we share here: the low IFR of Covid-19; the inaccuracy of the PCR test; availability of medicine such as hydroxychloroquine, the enormous impact the lockdown has on small businesses, the lack of evidence of the effectivity of measures, etc.
They are the only party that has been going to different cities and towns these past days for their campaign and meet and speak to hundreds or thousands of people who show up every time. See the following Tweet as an example:
I get a 'Trump-feeling' from their movement.
People are tired of the lockdown measures and FvD seems to be the only hope. Meanwhile, people have been drawing Hitler-moustaches on campaign posters that depict the current Dutch PM, Mark Rutte. (Just stating what's happening). I don't think I've ever seen this happen to so many posters before. I think more people are seeing that he's another puppet. Anyway, there will likely be people voting for his political party (VVD) again as there are always authoritarian followers, but I don't think it will be in the range of votes for FvD. There is at least one more political party who is also critical about some of the Covid-19 measures, but FvD is the only party to want to lift them all and go back to normal.
So, what to do, as PTB, to make sure Baudet and van Haga don't win? They tried to smear Baudet during a talkshow, but that backfired. They tried to label him as racist, woman-hater, conspiracy theorist and so forth, but he has done talk shows on his own political party's YT channel to counter these claims, and a recent one with an actress was one of the best so far (this has reached almost ~300K views). The actress also gave him some good feedback, that he shouldn't give the MSM a stick they can hit him with, that he should be careful with his words and try to use some of those silly interviews to his own advantage. The actress said she doesn't agree with all of their party's aims, but the most important topic for her is freedom and that is why she will vote for their party. This video I think will make some doubters vote for their party too, simply because I think people are tired of being in a lockdown with no end in sight.
But the PTB has more tricks up their sleeve, and I think it's very likely that they will try to cheat (duh!). Because of Covid-19, 2,4 million elderly people are allowed to vote by snail mail (wonder where they got the idea from?). Here are some headlines to give an idea of how that's going:
"Mail-in ballot not invalid if signature is missing"
"1470 ballots incorrectly delivered in the municipality of Hoorn, also to the deceased"
"West Betuwe blunder: 850 ballots to deceased or relocated residents"
They will try to cheat, and while I hope FvD comes out as one with the most votes, I think it's probably going to be evened out with the cheating, but we'll see.
What happens if FvD does get all the votes? Then it can get tricky too, as political parties will have to decide upon a new cabinet:
It might be possible that most parties will not agree with FvD being a part of the cabinet. Other Dutchies will probably know better how it all works, as it's a bit complex to me. One thing is clear though, if they get the majority of votes, it will give a pretty clear message out there and Baudet suspects that this will cause a response in other European countries. I do wonder though, are there any political parties in other European countries who are similar to FvD and want to immediately lift all Covid-19 measures? Obviously, I don't think that any person or party will be able to break through the global agenda, but it sure is interesting to keep an eye on these developments. As the C's say "enjoy the show".
Thanks for reading, I thought I'd let you know what's going on in this small country.
A couple SOTT articles that may be of interest:
- From the 2019 election: Thierry Baudet's populist party gains in Dutch Senate elections, pushing out PM Rutte's majority
- 16 years after Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn was assassinated by a radical leftist, Dutch establishment is gunning for Thierry Baudet
