Dutch Angry Mob In Voting Booth

Timeline how Geert Wilders triggered his own downfall 😊

  • majority of massive swing vote decide on election day
  • tweets Geert Wilders polls

  • d66 from 11 seats late September to 27 seats and the big winner

  • Belgian terror threat as Wilders goes into hiding to avoid debates and keep large lead in the polls

  • absence backfired and gave Rob Jetten prominence and a podium in the debates


Dutch election: Centrist D66 party surges against far right

How did the Dutch political parties fare?

D66 nearly tripled its seat count compared to the last election, buoyed by an energetic campaign and a surge in advertising spending. Meanwhile, Wilders' PVV lost much of the momentum that had propelled it to a surprise victory in 2023, despite a late surge in the count that briefly suggested another upset.

What does the Dutch election result mean?

Jetten is now on course to become the Netherlands' youngest-ever prime minister, according to the figures from ANP, which compiles results from municipalities across the country.

The outcome marks a dramatic resurgence for D66, a pro-European, socially liberal party that campaigned on climate policy, affordable housing and restoring trust in institutions.

With about 18% of the vote, the party is projected to hold a clear plurality in the 150-seat Lower House but will need at least three partners to form a majority coalition.

Jetten is expected to take the lead in coalition negotiations, a process that typically takes months in the Netherlands' fragmented political landscape.

Strategic voting

In last few days, smaller parties on the left lost votes as supporters switched to D66 to avoid another term by led by people hater and Islamophobe Geert Wilders. The massive brutal riots in The Hague must have played  crucial role in creating an opposition momentum that favoured a new generation led by Rob Jetten.

Protest march of nearly one hundred thousand participate in a demonstration against the Dutch (Geert Wilders) lack of action to stop war crimes in Gaza. The end destination will be the Peace Palace, home of the United Nations' World Court ICJ. I participated recently @Malieveld with a still surprising 5,000 demonstrators ... but today ... the LARGEST protest in 20 years.

Overall Dutch right-wing media claim victory

Dutch corporate media refuse to accept defeat of star performer, darling of De Telegraaf and others. Sunday morning right-wing talk show WNL quite subtly explained the electorate moved to the right implying victory over devilish “Left”.

To honor “We the People” of the election, who have spoken in a large turnout above 78%, D66 should look to the right to form his coalition.

Rob Jetten was educated in Nijmegen … a hotbed of socialists and worse: commies 😡😂

No one explains a definition of “right” and “left” as the majority of the voters show little allegiance to a political party. A very large swing vote makes an election result unpredictable.

WNL on Sunday …
