I was in Amsterdam last month
VVD = Volkspartij voor Vrijheid en Democratie
PVV = Partij Voor de Vrijheid
Etc.
The names are almost identical, en largely meaningless. Everyone wants freedom en democracy.
I’ll be in Rotterdam this weekend.

These guys seem happy
If the exit poll is to believed they have quadrupled their electoral share of the vote. Reason enough to celebrate.
Prime minister Rutte has just declared that the Dutch have managed to turn the global tide and that following Brexit and Trump, the Netherlands have said “stop!” to the wrong kind of populism.

Results for Amsterdam are in: the green lefties (GroenLinks) are the winners and have become the biggest party in the capital, whereas the Labour party (PvdA), who used to be the city’s powerhouse, have been obliterated.
44 out of 338 local councils have now declared. The top 5 is as follows (150 seats in total, 76seats required to form a government):
- VVD (right-wing liberals) 32 seats
- CDA (christian centrists) 21 seats
- D66 (left-wing liberals) 17 seats
- Groen Links (green lefties) 15 seats
- PVV (extremist right-wingers) 20 seats
It almost certainly will be a centrist government formed by VVD, CDA and D66, propped up by one other smaller party.
Bit weird how this is a joke thread (with the exception of @aboynamedgoo).
Not UK or US politics so everyone’s just revelling in their ignorance I guess #justgoodbants
