A good overview of everybody's economic positions but it glosses over international policy, which is the main reason why I'm not voting for SP or PvdD. Both are anti-europe and a left wing nexit will not be any less catastrophic than a right wing one under Wilders, socialists being russophiles on top of that and the animal party supports all kinds of woo like being antivax.

Yeah I realized after an hour of talking we didn't even bring up how each party relates to the EU and how EU politics get mixed in with Dutch politics. We are planning to do a follow up after the election and I want to get into how the "winners" of the election will interact with EU politics.

Vaccineren

De Partij voor de Dieren is tegen verplicht vaccineren. Ieder mens heeft het recht om zelf te beschikken over zijn of haar lichaam en daarmee ook het recht om af te zien van inenting voor zichzelf of zijn/haar minderjarige kinderen. Ook moet er geen vaccinatieplicht opgelegd kunnen worden vanuit de Europese Unie.

Basically, they dont support mandatory vaccination.

Giant leap from there to being antivaxxers though. I agree it's not a great look.

I feel ''the government cannot force you to vaccinate/be a donor/whatever" is a defensible position to take, even though i think that vaccination should be mandatory. I do wonder how they feel about that whole being forced to work in return for your benefits that more and more municipalities are doing, but i cant find anything in their program about this issue.

I've had the misfortune of having been around a lot of antivaxxers, this is straight up "as a mommy I know what's best/MAH SOVEREIGNTY" antivaxxery. It's "I'm not racist, I just look at crime statistics and there's definitely a correlation between browns and crime" but for killing one's own children first.

It's basically the status quo position (vaccines are not currently obligatory) so I read it as neutral. There's nothing in there about statistics, bullshit formaldehyde/chemicals or whatever which is the usual antivaxx line. But hey, I'm not looking for an excuse not to vote for them so whatevs.

They've been steadily occupying 2-3 seats for the past century, the most stable party around. Either you and your family vote for it, or you don't. It is pretty much obligatory to vote for them in certain social circles in certain areas, and all other people wouldn't think about voting for them.

Yeah to give an idea the SGP voted against women suffrage. Then when it inevitably passed, they urged women not to vote anyway. This is 1918-1922. However, only as recently as 1989 they have made their formal position that women should decide for themselves whether they vote. In 1993 they made it their formal policy that women can't be members of the party. Not until 2006 they were forced to accept women members.

The whole basis for this is the man-woman power relation from the bible.

They are very consistent in their support, polling consistently at around 2% of the population for about a century.

If you don't mind the Putin fanboyism, yeah. Remember which side of the Wilders waving his(and Putin's) dick in Ukraine's face referendum they were on. SP are good people for city councils but please do not let them anywhere near foreign policy.

2. sane
3. not traitors

1+2=SP
1+3=PvdD
2+3=GL/D66/PvdA

The way I see it, further fragmentation of the union will only lead to more eastern countries getting crimea'd and from personal experience I know that while they appear leftist in their larval stage, alt med/anti vax/"spiritual" nuts will happily horsehoe theory themselves over to the right through a process of healing crystals=>big pharma=>banksters=>jewish bankers=>sieg heil and can not be relied upon to actually stay left when they're actually needed the most.

We can put the neoliberals up against the wall when this is over, we can't do the same with little green men.

Absolutely nothing. Which is a problem when they were the ones governing.

Essentially they have just had a civil war and have been happily marching along with neoliberal policy for the last 4 years.

They've always been lax about expressing the "social" part of social democrats but that never seemed to harm them that much. They actually took a slightly stronger stand agains the VVD in the last elections and shot up to #2 party. Come formation season however, Samsom announced that what the Netherlands needed was unity and so he abandoned literally his entire program and joined the VVD coalition as junior partner, forming a neoliberal cabinet in record time. So now labour is getting annihilated because all their closet neoliberals have finally realized they could cut out the middle man and just vote for the VVD directly while the party's more socialist leaning followers have been scattered to the wind by this bait and switch.
