  1. Actually the dividend tax didn’t play any part in the election of FvD. You might think it mattered but it didn’t. You should see the polls on why people voted FvD. It really is about Dutch identity, climate management costs, referendums and the EU. I think a lot of people also don’t trust our National Broadcaster anymore and would love their resources to be cut. Simply there is a lot of potential good things FvD can do and the dividend tax outrage was really an insignificant factor.

  2. Actually there’s a difference between climate management and management of the Dutch environment. And they really did campaign against spending anything on climate management but they are all for protecting our nature from human harm. Baudet even said he agreed with 80% of the things the PvdD want regarding the environment.

  3. It’s good to keep the options open though. I wouldn’t mind extreme reform of the EU but it probably won’t happen. Which means they’re going to support a Nexit eventually anyways.

  4. Free movement wouldn’t be so bad if we were only in the union with Germany(and other German speaking countries), UK, Ireland, Scandinavia, Belgium, Luxembourg and France (from a Dutch perspective). I think coincidentally that’s also roughly what the original EEC was. I mean it’s not actually coincidental because those were the economically similar and wealthy nations. Also if they would actually protect the outer border from immigrants and we would have more of a say in the election of EU members that would be a lot better already.
