So I slept through most of Sunday, and now I woke up and apparently we are at war with Turkey??

Erdogan calls Netherlands a Banana Republic

Turks trying to burn Dutch flag burn French flag by accident

Dutch flag at consulate in Istanbul replaced with Turkish flag

"Dutch police used dogs and water cannon early on Sunday to disperse the crowd in Rotterdam, which threw bottles and stones. Several demonstrators were beaten by police with batons, a Reuters witness said. They carried out charges on horseback, while officers advanced on foot with shields and armoured vans."

Turkish minister deported after confrontation with Dutch police, Wilders releases inflammatory statement

In other news, 2 days until the election and I still haven't made up my mind. I'm thinking of buying a blank 12 sided die at the games shop and writing in some party names?

Should I vote for DENK? I am intimidated by the might of the Turks, and as a coward, want to appease them

Don't vote for DENK, they intimidate mosques to bully them into issuing voting recommendations, use fake social media accounts for trolling and sock-puppetry, and love to attack the media as political tactic (if you want to vote for anyone with a migrant background, there's some perfectly decent choices available, such as Khadija Arib (PvdA), Sadet Karabulut (SP) or my probable choice, Nevin Özutok (GL). )

They were elected as part of the Labour party but split from them over not being able to follow the AKP party line, now they're running for themselves. Tiny one issue splinter parties are a proud Dutch tradition, they're less likely in Germany where you need at least 5% of the vote to get in. Wilders started out like that too...

The Dutch government currently does not recognize the Armenian genocide.

What I'm saying is don't vote for VVD or PvdA.

Parliamentary seats (and votes) are granted to individuals, instead of to parties. So, at any point during the cabinet those individuals can decide to leave their party and start an independent party. This is common and usually results in the new party not getting any seats in the next election.

No it doesn't. That declares the intent 'to make discussabel the question of the Armenian Genocide with Turkey' and that parliament is of the opinion that it is a good thing if Turkey and the Armenian region come to an understanding. Which is hollow self-evident talk.

Our royal family is the House of Orange Nassau, so Oranges have been used pretty often as a symbol for them and for the country.

Yes, but I don't think they ever do. At least this year, he, the queen and the former queen are not voting: http://nos.nl/artikel/2161173-willem-alexander-maxima-en-beatrix-gaan-niet-stemmen.html
They want to be impartial. According to that article, they did not even vote back when it was legally required, so they were technically breaking the law by not voting.

GL and D66 are both big on flexible contracts and those are really bad!!! A GL/D66/CDA/VVD coalition would of course be better than a VVD/PVV/SGP/FvD hell-coalition, but it would still be really bad for low-earners outside the Randstad.

there is only one real leftist option in the Netherlands, and that is Partij voor de Dieren. They are literally the only party that are openly anti-capitalist, and openly criticize economic growth as the ultimate factor for happiness. they are also the only party to openly support universal basic income.

just lol at calling GL left.
