@timothymattnew Why should we build more houses for foreigners? Who does the government have to serve?

@TheLuxGirl2077 Don't project your racism on the Dutch. Wilders is half Indo, Yesilgöz is a Turkish Kurd from birth, Omtzigt's wife is Turkish and one of Van der Plas parents is foreign too. Wilders party has been the biggest or 2nd biggest among the Surinamese in NL for over a decade. Dutch "right wing" parties don't have to do tokenism, they have natural presence of well integrated people with an immigration background. It is the left parties that have to drag in some colour and opt for those who put their immigration background on the foreground.

Social housing that even isn't the government's but is privately not for profit owned.

@sperzieb00n No, there has been a lot wrong with the housing policy of the 'centre right' but the Dutch population is not growing and the shortage of housing is about equal to the net influx of immigrants in the past 10 years. The government has been artificially increasing demand for housing, without organizing supply. Same for doctors, teachers, infrastructure, grid and elektricity, water, recreational spaces, police, whatever.

@timothymattnew If you build for your own people. Asylum seekers do not serve the Dutch people and therefore attracting them with free housing does not serve the Dutch people.

@sperzieb00n It was ruined by mass immigration primarily. Supply of housing is limited by nature, demand for housing in the Netherlands is infinite when government keeps splashing residency permits around. It's not the governments job to serve foreigners interest in living here, that goes against the constitution and the 'democratische rechtsstaat'.

@nox5555 For foreigners? Let them do that themselves.

@joskoeleman950 Which isn't actually fraud but suddenly this paper and a hospital start to worry about private profits from publicly financed research...

What people fail to understand is that the so called centre right or centre left is economically far right, the Netherlands and the Dutch people to be exploited by the international corporatocracy, including mass immigration and using the Dutch people's welcoming and tolerant nature to burden them to the max. Great for GDP but not for GDP per capita, great for profits of foreign corporations with foreign shareholders employing foreigners in the Netherlands, while the Dutch employees have seen their tax and social security cost raised from 35 to 40% of their salary while paying much, much more for housing, energy, health care and groceries. Small and mid sized entrepreneurs and companies struggling, big corporations enjoying tax havens. Explain to me how that was not right wing.

What is right of left about that? The former hard progressive pacifist left is now sucking up to the military-industrial complex.

No, the left has shifted, away from ordinary nationals to foreigners and things like sexuality and identity that are intrinsically not government but private matters. Old fashioned social democrats are far right in their view now. Let's not go along with that absurd view.

@night6724 It had to recover from the pro cyclic policy of the economic hard right. The boom bust cycles they love so much as well as they loved the banks getting rich while creating this crisis.

No, the EU holds free trade hostage to force it's political agenda of the unelected onto it's member states. The value of the EU is in it blocking free trade with neighbouring states when you're not in it. The EU itself does not offer benefit, it can only take away.

@0w784g The 'ever closer union' from that treaty is abused by not quoting it fully. The ever closer union between the people is what is in the treaty, not between government or administrative layers.

@0w784g Interpreted by the unelected and contrary to the text the elected have ratified.

It's the members parties that have been antidemocratic.

Are you suggesting Wilders can't be PM because he isn't white?
