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.
yes, but they gotta gotta sort out the chemtrail issue and stop vaccinations before they do that tho!

I'm actually tempted due to the polls, if there is some chance of GL becoming the biggest party, even though I know Klaver would be happy to bomb Ankara and start fracking in the Wadden Sea if it means they get their name on a list of 'constructive opposition members', let alone in government...

This is also why I might switch from SP to GL. I don't like how liberal they tend to be but they are the most left-wing party with an actual chance of ending up in government, which is worth something.

Just got word from oliwan's family that he has killed himself, very sad. You can honor his memory by voting for SP or GL, or hell even PvdA. Parties that will actually do something instead of jerking themselves off over the life quality of some stupid loving rodent in some Amsterdam canal. RIP in Peace.

There will be exit polls tomorrow night but we won't find out significant results until very late in the evening, will we? So the following morning is a better bet.

If PVDD are full on anti capitalist have they made it clear what they want to replace it with? At least the SP has a theoretical framework and we know what they would replace it with. What does the PVDD suggest we replace capitalism with? Or do we tear it down first and then see how we organise our economy?

I might vote pvda because, while I prefer D66's more libertine attitude, I really dislike vvd's authoritarian "act normal" spiel. Economically I like a stronger welfare state in principle as well. But, It doesn't really affect my STEMlord situation personally.

So, welp, I'll probably just end up with D66 anyways because gently caress you, got mine.

The threshold is really low. Anyone that gets about 2/3 of a % of the vote gets a seat in parliament. Many countries have a minimum like 5 or 10 % before they count. A significant portion of our parties bounce around 2-5 seats.

Dutch politics is not first-past-the-post. Without a winner takes all, the formation of coalition is the norm. This allows people to vote for the party they want and discourages 'tactical voting'. And you know what they say; 17 million inhabitants, 17 million parties.

Add to this that a lot of parties are formed by 'splitting' of another party. This means that even minor parties have some experienced people at the top to organise the new party.

gonna watch all these 5 track vids.

mark rutte's picks are essentially klavier's but one generation older. one of those liberal fans of rock who's probably really into the aesthetics of rock

buma's clearly going for beige-core. like consciously trying to be boring and bland. it literally has coldplay and the eagles.

asscher, a man i've never heard of: i can't focus on the words he's saying so borinnggg. wearing some raggedy-rear end sneakers. lame dutch music, a joke about his name sounding a bit about usher, the trolls song. weak. pathetic.

roemer: what the hell. most respectable answers so far.

pechtold: ughhhhhh. pretty sure every one of these picks was carefully selected by a committee somewhere. the first party leader where i not only believe he chose these songs, i also don't believe this man has ever listened to music before


roemer is the clear winner for me but only because the rest are so incredibly bad

Comparing this to straight up denial... Wowzers
