Politieke Barometer [http://www.synovate.nl/content.asp?targetid=621]
The current dutch polls. The fact that VVD (a bunch of right wing neoliberal douchnozzles) and PVV (a bunch of conservative left wing anti immigration, anti multiculturelism & anti free-speach (except their own) douchnozzles) are the two biggest parties in the polls.
This is what i mean, the current spending cuts policy of the government involves shaving off a lot of spending everywhere (instead of actual reform). Part of this is plan involves shoving off a lot of national responsibilities onto the local governments, who's funding is then cut. On the local political level there now is across the board (including PVV and VVD) political consensus that this just won't work (financially mathematically), still on the national level the idiots persists. Add to that the revanchism of the current government (all things left-wing, social securities, green economics, nature preservation, cultural subsidies are being hit by disproportionate and often pointless spending cuts). And they still have the bloody support of the bloody populous.
Oh if your wondering, the party I support (even became a member and everything) is GreenLeft (GL) 8 out of 150 seats, yay......
EDIT:
That it! I just went to one of my political news site/blog thingy and found this: VVD geen uitkering voor Occupy Betogers [http://www.joop.nl/leven/detail/artikel/vvd_geen_uitkering_voor_occupybetogers/]
Translation: VVD no welfare for Occupy protesters
You may want to know that VVD is short for Vrede Vrijheid Democratie, translation Peace Freedom Democracy. Why are the parties with the word freedom in their names the ones who are trying to take ours away? (PVV = Partij voor de Vrijheid, translation Party for Freedom.)
