Since the November election, politicians in the Netherlands have been scrambling to form a government. This week though, Geert Wilders finally managed to bring together a coalition, one that will see the country go rightwards. In this video, we take a look at the new coalition, it's policies, and who might end up being the new Prime Minister.

European countries now have a competition for 'who's the most right wing government in the continent'
Everyone slightly scared looking at Germany
Lucky them, left wing is wrong
EUROPE = WHITE = BAD
There's a word for this kind of competition: Democracy. If you don't like it, vote better, get better programs and actually do your programs instead of waffling around.

How come controlling migration is 'Right Wing' in Europe? Its just normal administrative process in Asia
How come it's not in Asia?
because most of Asia didn't draft up a set of agreements on rights which included one to accommodate for if people could be in serious risk of harm, from seeing what happened to a certain ethnicity/religion people protection in other countries, because they came from safe ones, that were then invaded by a country led by a thin moustache guy
They won't "controll" it they will just make a stink about it
The left wants to welcome foreigners to help them. It's altruistic. That sort of thing isn't even considered in most Asian countries.
Because of propaganda.
People only think of what Europe is doing, they don't care about seeing what other countries are doing and asking questions.
Small correction: they have not yet "cobbled together a government"; they have only made a coalition agreement. Forming a government is the next step
Thatâs just blatantly incorrect.
â@@Numeraunoporfavor it really is not incorrect.
â@@Numeraunoporfavorthere is a new government when the ministers have been sworn in, not before. And we're nowhere near that.
They have a apointed a formateur who will choose ministers, which will likely take about 5 weeks
I see the front runner for PM (Plasterk) is no longer in the running. That's not going to make this any quicker...
I find it hilarious that controlling immigration is still considered 'right wing'. Having a grip on who does or doesn't enter your country and ensuring that they do not threaten the wellbeing of your native people should be the most basic fucking thing any government has to do. This is not an extremist topic, it's protecting your people.
Yeah, its like Denmark is the only country where the social democrats figured that out, and thereby saved their party.
Wilders wanted to ban the Quran, specifically tax Muslim head scarfs and ban Mosques. Every party wants to get a grip on migration, some, like the PVV, are just discriminatory about it.
" ensuring that they do not threaten the wellbeing of your native people" This is the most racist statement I've read in a long time.
Wildas is straigh up racist and xenophobic in his retoric and behaviour,hate speach a daily thing, there is nothing social democratic in his behaviour.
Tell me you've never had to deal with immigration control without telling me you've never had to deal with immigration control.

Ronald Plasterk used to be from the labour party, however he has shifted to the right majorly and is therefore now considered as potential prime-minister. He has experience and already knows the parties because he led the coalition talks for some time. The reason NSC isnât happy with him, is because Omtzigt and Plasterk had a personal dispute during these coalition talks.
Also they're still investigating potential fraud when Plasterk sold his patents/company
There is no fraud, it is confirmed that he did't commit a crime. Only thing is that he had a company with cancer patents. He sold his company for more than 30 million. The only thing is that he didn't shared the money with the university where he did the research and his co-researcher. So the left is targeting him. He did nothing against the law, so big chance he will be the next PM.
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.
No the main reason the NSC is reluctant is the guy is under investigation for fraud
it isnt fraud its just immoral to file for a patent you didnt pay for to research
"Tuinders" are farmers that use greenhouses for farming.
Technically Tuinders are any farmer that produces crops on a large scale. That extends to things like trees and doesn't require greenhouses. It does exclude those focus on mixed or animals.
@@mormaciltechnically we donât call farmers a tuinder.
There are âtuindersâ from the cold ground and from the warm ground (glass houses)
But farmers can also be partly tuinder.
No one calls a-farmer a tuinder in the Netherlands as far as I know!
@@alleskomtgoed Anyone who owns a farm, including cows is a farmer. So of course I never said they're interchangeable. I said that Tuinders isn't limited to greenhouses.
@@mormacilo.k, clear to me.

The problem with Poland and Hungary was that if they did not adhere to EU rules, they would not receive billions in EU subsidies. The Netherlands is a net contributor to the EU, the EU cannot threaten the Netherlands not to provide subsidies. The Netherlands can say that it simply does not want to pay the EU any more.
Everyone pays. N E just pays more and needs less subsidies. Otherwise yeah, N E can just pull back/ opt out of paying and the E U will have to bend that knee and give in.
In fact, Netherlands is the largest contributor per capita
"the EU cannot threaten the Netherlands not to provide subsidies" - why not? If the Netherlands does something against EU law, then there are prescribed punishments.
"The Netherlands can say that it simply does not want to pay the EU any more" - this is illegal under current EU law. Then this could mean the exit of the NL from the EU, and everything that this means, for example tariffs on dutch products.
@@tomorrowneverdies567
Completely wrong. The only way you force NL to pay is through military action. Otherwise it's a done deal. NL is free from E U dictates for the foreseeable future.
@@Wendeta-hq2cp Why do right wing idiots always have such dumb takes? Oh yeah else they wouldnt be right wing. Yk who also is a net giver? Germany, you know who had to pay fines to the EU, ah yeah Germany, without the EU putting military to action. Why is that? Because the EU is not only money its about the economic union. If the NL break the rules then they get punished if they dont pay their fines then they will get sanctions and as last resort they get kicked. The Netherlands are heavily benifiting from being the "port nation in europe", so goods can be distributed from the nl to whole europe. The Moment NL is not in the EU anymore prop German Ports will take this responsibility and NL will lose a lot of their economic power.
But these are facts, i know you dont believe in that concept.
Great video everyone! Though just wanted to say that D66 arenât Social Democrats. However, at 1:22 D66 are referred to as âSocial Democratsâ, when in fact they are a social liberal/liberal party. Iâm sure itâs just an honest mistake (it happens), but I just wanted to clarify :)
D66 are paraphilia appologists.
I mean, it's usually political parties with very little experience governing, no plans on what to do in government beyond defending a couple populist talking points from their campaign, and usually directly attack a certain group of people. It's really no wonder people fear them getting into government, luckily they usually only last one term since when voters see what the anti-establishment party is really about they go back to more moderate options
You are right of course. But "liberaal" cannot be translated to "liberal" in English. "Liberal" in Anglo Saxon countries mean "left wing" or "progressive". In the Netherlands it has almost the opposite meaning "less government intervention and conservative". So, "social conservative" would be a better translation, maybe. Not fond of it, but...
â@ronaldderooij1774 Liberal in Britain doesn't mean left wing, that's what it means in America
Whatâ s in a name?
Which party calling itself democrat is really democratic?
The same for democracies there are no democracies!

Asylum seekers not getting a priority over cititzens in the allocation of social housing is actually a good thing in my opinion.
its not a good thing, because it doesn't adress the issues that have been causing the housing problems over the last decades, its just taking away rights for some while doing nothing to improve rights for everyone.
Its also already a thing. There is a category for urgency, some asylum seekers qualifiy for this status, a lot of people born here do as well. It's just another way to distract from the actual causes of the houising crisis. Because those causes are right wing politics.
I think that policy of priority exists because asylum seekers are among the most vulnerable members of society, usually with zero contact networks or family support to fall back on in the country as opposed to citizens that usually can get that help from other parties than the state. Without social housing integration would be weakened and many asylum seekers would end up on the streets and increase their crime rate.
Itâs regrettable that Dutch citizens and asylum seekers must be put against eachother however, when the real problem is severe underfunding and lack of political action to increase the housing supply for several decades.
@@sperzieb00n
Only citizens have rights. Deal with it. Or not and go home.
Yeah it's awesome. Citizens can finally benefit from living in their country instead of Martians coming here (mostly through illegal means).
They have a housing crisis but still prioritise asylum seekers in social housing?
Social housing that even isn't the government's but is privately not for profit owned.
Yes, this has been the case for the last decade. It is completely unjustifiable and outright insane, if you ask me. Good thing the new coalition is ending this immediately, a small first step in the right direction.
Yep, this was to avoid clogging up the asylum centers.
But obviously grew out of proportion. Still left wing parties preferred unclogged asylum seeker centres to fair allocation of scarce social housing.
Big driver of the election result
Big taboo I think among established parties for a long time.
Maybe they should, idk, build more houses. Obviously asylum seekers are a less secure group of people than most regular Dutch citizens.
@@JajalaatmaarWhat are these left-wing parties youâre referring to? There hasnât been a left-of-centre party in government since 2017.
Netherlands is smaller than most American States. Unrestricted Immigration is a huge problem for a tiny country

And reacting to this issue is something that can't be done because you would be considered a "right wing extremist" if you do.

The same is true for populations and countries!
but how will they avenge the fate of Joost Klein in the Eurovision Song Contest?
Nexit? Should leave Eurovision Song Contest atleast.
The current government didn't care at all and the leaders of the parties that formed a coalition neither spoke out.
We should be thankfull to Eurovision for canceling Joost Klein to prevent us from yet another national humilliation. We should also stop participating to that woke ass circusclownshow for good. Good riddance.
â@@Mrtyjr Horrible! They are incapable of leading!
@@Mrtyjr why should we? It's a song festival....who gives a crap?
The idea that The Netherlands can just get an opt-out of certain EU policies is a fantasy at best. The countries that do have opt-outs got them because they were members before the EU implemented those policies, not because a new government decided after the fact that they didn't like an existing policy.
It's all for their voters, hoping they're to uninformed to realize they're selling them hot air.
This government has been elected mostly to curb the import of criminals and parasites. Either they impose strict controls on immigration after an opt-out, or they impose strict controls on immigrations and pay some bullshit fines. If they don't, there will very swiftly be another election, and current polls show the result will be a lot more right-leaning that the current coalition.
It's a direction toward which they're trying to push but they'll probably be glad if they can negotiate their way to a softer implementation of the policies.
Lots of countries are souring on the eu-immigrant policies, so Europe as a whole may just start adjusting those policies.
However an increased right wing government on the EU from the coming elections on the 9th of june might make such a thing an reality.
There is no need for Three hundred thousand homes, it's close to nine hundred thousand homes.
The current shortage is about 300.000. Experts expect that number to go up to about 900.000 in time as demand for housing increases
300000 houses are privately sold and owned by blackrock. Pretty sure there are no refugees on that board of directors
It won't help if you give all of them to immigrants and refugees
@@millevenon5853 you really think you would arrive in let's say Russia or China or even Spain with 2 pieces of plastic in your non existent pants you could buy a house on the private market? The 300000 houses are PRIVATELY owned by the worlds biggest private hedge funds. Get to know the real enemy dude.
There is little need for that many new homes if they would address their immigration problem. No immigrants, no housing shortage.
Nope, that still goes to Hungary
But Orban is not particularly economically right wing
Give them a couple years and Netherlands will limit the free press too
@@wile123456 Wouldn't be so bad. Limiting free press nowadays is just a scarecrow for actually limiting foreign negative influence. The West no longer has an independent press. The press has turned into propaganda organs and they are at the whim of whoever finances them. As far as I'm concerned, it should be limited and restricted as much as possible. And foreign financed press should be banned.
Well that's the charm with proportional democracy. You can't abolish free press with 20-something percent of the vote. Wilders can't even become prime minister.
It's not like in the US or UK, where 30% MAGA cultist, or Brexit fanatics, can dominate everything.
@@wile123456the dutch already censor speech
Stop conflating legal economic migrants with asylum seekers and illegal immigrants
Exactly! Most people are pro immigrants, just not violent ones that whenever they come with their unwillingness to integrate gRape statistics, murd3r statistics, violence statistics all shoot up. And thatâs just when theyâre a small percentage of the population, imagine when theyâre the majority. Look at Iran for a sneak peak of what happens when Islamists are left unchecked: oppression and misery.
Sure, we should, but the discriminatory behavior won't. It will at best judge who is whom by their religion or skin color.
@@dr.victorvs im pretty sure discriminatory behaviour is illegal in all eu countries be it age, skin colour/ethnicity, sex, religion, etc
âââ@@ZJewAnd people do violate the law. Also, discrimination can take the form of simply not doing someone specific a small favor we'd do for anyone else and other small things that aren't crimes but, combined, throw a wrench at the idea of integration.
â@@ZJew Illegal means normal people go to jail for it but big capital and the government are "illegal-proof"
As a Dutchie, it would be more surprising if we had not seen a strong change in voting patterns. Our country is declining steadily, seemingly at an accelerating pace. This is for the perspective of the common man though, as the Dutch elite does not really experience those negative consequences.
How is are country "declining steadily" ? I am not going to pretend everything is fine, but in my opinion its definitely not "steadily declining".
I also don't see a strong change in voting patterns. The Dutch government has been right-wing since 2002 when CDA, VVD and LPF formed a government.
@@dl3487 Yes, economically right wing, but not right wing otherwise. On the contrary, CDA and especially VVD have been quite culturally on the left. For example the stikstof laws and asieldwang laws came from VVD politicians.
As for declining steadily, it has quite a few symptoms. Education is lowering in quality, for one. We have highways being blocked, genocidal slogans shouted in the streets, police being unable or unwilling to combat crime, shamefully low prison sentences and many young couples being unable to even dream of buying a house.
@@Intel-i7-9700k CDA and VVD have been right-wing all this time. Especially in the Dutch context. We haven't had a left-wing government in decades.
Highway's being blocked is in no what a sign that the quality has dropped. Crime numbers have been dropping for years and i agree with the low prison sentences...but those have been in place for decades too. Buying a house is a pain, I agree. All in all though, we are not declining steadily.
People are being exposed to way to much fake, exaggerated and biased stories that pretend to be news. we are being bombarded with propaganda from all sides.
We are declining due to conservativist and right wing politics. So we turn into more conservative, more right wing and more populist politics.
@@dl3487 Crime is dropping? Bruv Amsterdam is becoming an anarchist shithole, Remember Peter R de Vries? Theo van Gogh and rapper biggie daggoe? Its an crime ridden city en now an anarchy with the current student protests
A very big problem is that reducing the amount of international students and english courses will really go against what the Netherlands has been turning into: an expertise economy. ASML and other bigger companies will consider leaving which will be a massive shock to the tech sector and lose a lot of jobs. The impact of less english courses will also reduce the viability of international job options and international trade.
Exactly! But it's not like they care at all....
WHY DO THEY ALWAYS MAKE IT SOUND AS IF TAKING CARE OF YOUR OWN POPULATION FIRST IS EVIL ??
It is when you start deciding who is and isn't a part of your population solely based on their beliefs or persuasion. If you want to be taken care of vote social, simple as. But this government still won't fix the housing crisis, won't fix inflation, won't fix climate; so in 30 years it won't matter anymore that we have no houses because we'll all be dead.
Because it is? you're not more important just because of your birth, that's fucked up
@@arda6140 No one said that they're more important. Do you struggle with reading comprehension? Should Guatemalans expect the Nicaraguan government to represent their interests over the Nicaraguan people?
@@arda6140What's fucked up is your inability to make the distinction between "local people should more important for elected politicians than non-citizen or illegal immigrants" VS "more important because racism".

@@jpb2366 you just yapping bro. You judge people based on their political status, I dont give a fuck. People are people.
This wasnât right wing 30 years ago, it was close to center. One way you can see that is that Plasterk was considered from prime minister at some point, and he is from a party that is now on the complete opposite side of the political spectrum to the PVV. He didnât shift to the right, the politics itself shifted left.
Ensuring housing for migrants when your own citizens are experiencing a housing crisis is ridiculous. The PVV is wonky, but it is right here.

D66 are not social-democrats.
That's not my opinion they just never labelled themselves as such.
The PVDA (now sort of merged with greenleft) are the self-identified social democrats.
The SP is also characterised by some as social democrat, but by others as democratic socialist.
D66 is probably most accurately described as politically 'progressive'. Though some (in the party especially) might also say centrist.
Also,
Plasterk being part of the Labour party doesn't mean he can still be called center left.
He has shifted to the right of social issues since leaving office. He's also started writing for de Telegraaf, a Dutch newspaper which could be compared to the New York Post in the US.
He's been having talks with Omzigt to try and patch up relations, which very clearly signals that he is a serious candidate for the premiership.
Er. The D66 is basically what the far left in the US is: socialist-liberal-(progressive) democrats. Except with Dutch/European levels of Socialism. Calling them centrist is a wildly inaccurate statement. Plasterk being part of the Labour party does mean he can still be called center left, because he stays member of the PvdA due to his Left-leaning values and ideals. The reason he started writing for De Telegraaf is to avoid being censored for criticising the left. Just like Tulsi Gabard left the Democrats for the same reason.
D66 is officially classified as Social-Liberal.
Free public transport doesn't sound right wing. Is he just right wing on migration?
Its mostly right wing on climate and migration.
Yes, basically. But I do think he calls himself that too.
In most ways Wilders favors big social spending. Just not on foreigners.
Thatâs literally just a green policy. We have this in Luxembourg and it was implemented by the Green party.
He is not right wing, he is pro Dutch (in his words).
His problem, as many others have, is that certain rules and laws and regulations let one not kick out or penalize certain beings although one knows they are not a healthy adjective to the country they are in. Like many other countries, they already have problems to solve and adding so many more ''unwanted'' or unknown'' people will not simplify matters.
Wilders will never allow any PVV member to vote for free public transport. I don't know where this myth is coming from.
Crazy how a government that actually works for the interests of its citizens is not considered radical.
Reading between the (many) lines discussed here, it seems as though the main takeaway from this analysis is the fact that Wilders' PVV party has had to temper/abandon most of its more extreme manifesto pledges to play any role in forming the incoming administration - for me this means that Proportional Representation [PR] has worked again, in ensuring that extremism is not normalised, eviscerating the all too common claim made by opponents of PR here (in the UK) that PR enables extremists to prevail.
Yes, PR offers a legitimate avenue to representation for more extreme political ideas but it actually denies them opportunities to secure absolute power, in stark contrast to First Past the Post [FPTP].
If the Dutch Election showcased here had used FPTP, Wilders would be PM and the PVV would be boasting a small but working majority in the Dutch Parliament - nightmare!!!
Spot on!
Fyi Ronald Plasterk is a former labour minister labour *turned right wing columnist*
Mr. Plasterk is still a social-democrat at heart but the left radicalized so much since he held office that he is now considered a conservative
I think the "links lullen, rechts zakken vullen" has been almost inverted at this point though lol
He's still got the same views. He didnt move to the right.. his party (PvdA) moved far left and left many people behind.

More and more, people are saying "migration" and "migrant" when they should be saying "immigration" and "immigrant".
Because left-wing media are trying to make the distinction between an immigrant, asylum seeker and illegal immigrant fuzzy.
I wonder if it's ideological, as if they're implying that it's a natural process, and that the border is not important.
they are illegal inmigrants, not only inmigrants. Illegal inmigranst should be called criminals
ââ@@philipboardman1357 In the US anti immigration advocates frequently use the term migrant, and "migrant crisis". The UK Conservative party also heavily uses the phrase "Economic migrant" for immigrants they don't like.

Hi, nice summary of our situation here. You got one big thing wrong: the government hasn't been formed yet. The caretaker cabinet is still in charge.
It's all very complicated, but right now the negotiating parties have an agreement in principle. They have nog formed a government yet. They don't know who is going to be in that government and they don't know the exact details.... Oh... and they don't have a budget yet. Yesterday, the main candidate for the head of government, the future minister president, told the press he would not take the job. He did want it and he was going to be asked, but there are several issues.
I feel there is a tendency for news media to call anything center right onwards to be â(ultra) right wingâ⊠I donât know about Dutch politics but when they talk about Japanese politics I donât like how inaccurate that term is.
Your feelings are more than that!
"right-wing" is a modern slur the left uses to shame their political opponents for things they themselves did in the past.
Their usual behavior, zero self-reflection and always very aggressive and unfair.
The left has been in power for a long time, but blame all problems on them not having sufficient power and shaming their opponents.
Did you notice it is always the upcoming opposition parties that are framed?
Yup, that's a good observation.
The terms left and right don't make much sense to me anymore, i'd rather hear specific long-term goals as indications.
I think calling for a tax on 'head rags' and banning their holy book makes Wilders a simple case. Of course now that he has real power 'he did not mean it that way' but that is the thing about saying awful things for 20 years : you can't just pretend like it did not happen. So even if I agree that the left-right distinction is not as clear-cut as it once was, to call Wilders ultra-hard-right is no more than being objective.
@@blinking_dodo True. Wilders/PVV is economically left and culturally right, the left/right wing terms are getting quite outdated.

European countries are sick of this mass migration from cultures which don't assimilate, and make parallel societies. This is a natural response to policies which the majority didn't ask for, or want. Good on you my Dutch brothers and sisters, reclaim your country.

I donât because immigration will not be stopped. Totally naĂŻve to think that is even possible. Worse; as if immigration is the greatest problem of all times. But in reality it is also partly a solution for an aging population. We have thank god the EU which still delivers manpower. But it will become absolutely clear how a non-subject will desappear.
Newsflash from any time between the 16th and 20th centuries: "Asian, African, North American, Central American, and South American countries; as well as the Middle East and Australasia, are sick of this mass migration from white European cultures, which don't assimilate, and make parallel societies."

Quick note on Plasterk, the potential PM candidate (not yet confirmed to be the candidate, though highly suspected): He was also the mediator for the four parties in the first round of negotiations. He had a little bit of a falling out with NSC's Omtzicht and it seems as though that may have caused Omtzicht to not agree to Plasterk as PM. On top of that issue, which could be relatively easily resolved, there's a potentially bigger issue for Plasterk. He's currently being investigated for basically stealing credit for medical research at a Dutch university, having made millions off it. Such questions about his integrity might linger for weeks or months as the investigation continues, which is time that they don't have. It's likely that Wilders will be forced to pick someone else to be the candidate instead
Edit: Plasterk has retracted his candidacy. Wilders will have to find someone else

One more note that was already know from last fase was that half of the cabinet will be from people not from the Dutch House of Commons but from the outside. It will be like the Canadian cabinet with a economist on the treasury and a veteran on defence. And part of these people from the outside will have to be pm. Plasterk has a good change because he also helped the government forming a bit.
"None of whom have ministerial experience..." is terrifying. A government where a full 25% has any experience governing... this cabinet won't make it past the summer.

To clarify on the housing shortage. we don't need more housing. there's plenty of houses. we need AFFORDABLE housing for people just out of school and starting families. whom are financially crippled by the current rules set in place. getting decent mortgages has been increasingly difficult, rent prices are through the roof and the tax-free-ton has been scrapped. (a ruling that let the parents chip in 100.000 tax free once at a house purchase by your direct kin.)
For how long it takes
Netherlands: we need 300,000 new homes
Canada (needing 5.8 million new homes): ha ha, I'm in danger
What we need more than 5.8 million new homes is a significant reduction in immigration. Trudeau doubled our immigration rate and now we're dealing with the consequences of that.
We actually need 900k in the next 8 yrs or so but 5,8 Million wtf how?
@@SubNL96 "If current rates of new construction continue, CMHC said the country's housing stock is expected to increase by 2.3 million units by 2030, reaching close to 19 million units total. But in order to achieve affordability for all Canadians, the agency said an additional 3.5 million homes are needed." (Source: CBC News)
Also: "Federal public servants warned the government two years ago that large increases to immigration could affect housing affordability and services, internal documents show. Documents obtained by The Canadian Press through an access-to-information request show Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada analyzed the potential effects immigration would have on the economy, housing and services, as it prepared its immigration targets for 2023 to 2025. The deputy minister, among others, was warned in 2022 that housing construction had not kept up with the pace of population growth." (Source: CTV News)
The government was warned that increased immigration would worsen the housing crisis, but they didn't listen. Canada is an absolute mess right now.

I don't think you can call Plasterk center-left anymore.
A bit of realism has set in, but his ideals will not be different.
And all was needed to prevent this is to at least start tackling the immigration problems 10 years ago.
NSC doesn't seems right-wing. They should be center to center-right.
It's an offshoot of the CDA that has been very much the right side of Centre-Right, NSC is new so it's hard to pinpoint, but sofar the opinions expressed are more much more right then centre.
They are very pro-EU, meaning they are pretty left in that regard.
This is countered by striving to more decentralization in the country itself.
They are economically centrist conservatives with an intergovernmentalist sentiment towards the EU. No, they are not Pro-EU.
they are right wing
Additionally, while there is a case for calling the VVD conservative, it's stance on lgbtq+ stuff (especially trans rights, which it has managed to push through parliament a few times before) immediately disqualify it from being conservative. Socially right wing? Yes. Conservative? No
The smartest move Wilders and the PVV made was mostly dropping/deprioritize their anti-Islam policy. Prom most people I talked to they just wanted someone that had Dutch citizen inetrests at nr1, no matter what ethnicity.
It wasn't a move, he could not make a coalition based on islam hate
Not sure about that. Donât think the pvv did anything smart. Think that âourâ muslims started to get really dumb after okt 7th.
Only hwtie people think like this. Dutch-morocan, french-algerian, turkish-germans, etc don't self report themselves as European first in the surveys they take
@@penzorphallos3199 itâs more complicated. Dutch non-Muslim minorities vote PVV at native (white) rates. Speaking from experience: Eastern Europeans, Indians, Surinamese arenât big Islam fans either
But itâs the one issue that will potentially kill EuropeâŠ
VVD is not "moderately" right. VVD is one of the more right-wing parties in the Netherlands. PVV on the other hand isn't so easily defined. Because on many fronts they are much more left-wing than VVD. The only clear and distinctive thing you can say about PVV, is that they are very conservative (and nationalist).
Overall I don't think this is a more right-wing government than the last. Maybe a bit. The main difference is that this new government is VERY conservative compared to the previous ones. So there seems to be a swing towards conservatism, not specifically towards the right.
Stop narrating this bullshit talking point that the PVV is more left wing than the VVD, and actually look at voting record from the PVV.
They're not left wing, not even on economics, it's just something that they say they are to win more votes. Look at the coalition agreement, is there any "left wing policy" in there?
Historically, VVD is center right. They've also managed to work together with plenty of center/center-left parties over the years (D66, PvdA). They're center-right. However, with the increasing focus on immigration, also within the VVD, you might be able to speak of a move towards the right under Yesilgöz, compared to Rutte
PVV is best described as a "populistic" party. In actuallity it's the Wilders movement as he's the only member.
The answer? Nope. It is obviously Hungary. No need to wait this clickbait video.

What does hungary have to do with this?
@@eduwino151 Hungary being a right wing traditional country is no bad thing.
@@moisuomiit is for the people living there
The title and the video doesn't match that greatly.
Whilst Ronald Plasterk is a longtime Labor party politician his recent work as a columnist has seen him take on multiple right-wing views, especially regarding climate policies and the EU. Wilders also personally likes and trusts him enough to know he wouldn't betray their shared values. It's also almost certain he will be PM as the bad blood between him and the NSC is being resolved.
He's working for the NL version of the Daily Mail, and he's in massive legal trouble for fraud which made him a multi-millionaire. Self-serving scum, like the rest of them. It's hard to see whether he or the Turkish women (wtf it's cracked that we can have literal foreign nationals as party leaders!) is the most like Liz Truss.
PVV is currently the most left wing party in NL apart from SP
@@yuppieNL not even close, their policy on healthcare is horribly rightwing (SP have the best position for the people there) and they've just lead a set of policy changes which are extremely negative for lower/middle incomes. I'm at the higher end of the income bracket (250k/year-ish, it's variable depending on how much I reinvest in my business) and the initial calculations it looks like I get a tax cut between 5k-10k.
Even worse, their policies will make the housing crisis - the cause of 80% of the social problems - much much worse.
@@yuppieNL You are so fucking delusional it's unbelievable. Did you even read through the coalition agreement? For all you ignorant people that said that the PVV was "economically left wing", how'd that work out for you?
What is a 'right wing view' on EU? Can't there be left wing eurosceptics? It's just a label. Almost like name calling.
Wow you pronounced Geert decently
plasterk is not center left, hes from a center left party, but his views align pretty much with the coalition
PVV is also center left, so his views alligning with them in fact makes him center left. PVV is largely (not entirely) what the old PvdA used to be.
@@Tiasung Do you get paid to repeat this propaganda online? Or are you so d*mb that you belive it?
The PVV literally wants to abolish the constitution just to spite foreigners. An honest description of their beliefs is far right, nothing else.
Why is the BBB included in the coalition if the other 3 parties could have a majority without them?
Because the BBB has a lot of seats in the senate which are needed to pass the laws from the house, the BBB is also on board with pretty much everything the PVV wants so they're not as big of a hindrance as NSC and VVD anyways.
@@ttt5205 Aaaaaah ok makes sense thank you!!
â@@andreasm5770tey are going to need to get allot done quick though since I doubth the BBB will keep that lead for long based on the their poor national election results.
@@killer30556 Well, no need to vote BBB anymore. I suspect most former BBB voters (especially those of the previous provincial elections) will vote PVV next time, so it's not likely that the Senate will become more unfavourable to the government after their next election (assuming no new developments/scandals in between). But I agree that their inclusion is a logical step (and therefore a win, at the cost of the other two coalition parties) for the PVV at this moment and also a temporary necessity with regard to the Senate. Come the next Senate election, they will have outlived their usefulness, but I doubt anyone thinks this coalition will last until then (it's three years to go until the next Senate election).
@@andreasm5770 And still have a lack of 6 seats. Interesting what will happen when they need support from the opposition.
Normally your videos are great and informative, but this one is just too sloppy. A lot of small mistakes (for example, D66 aren't social democrats, they're social-liberals) and two big ones:
1. A lot of the drama during the talks was about what form the next government would take, with the PVV and BBB supporting a majority cabinet, VVD preferring a minority cabinet and NSC wanting an extra-parliamentary cabinet. In the end NSC won out, mostly at least. That's also the reason why all party leaders will stay MP's.
2. Plasterk really isn't a centre-left politician (anymore). After his time as minister (until 2017) he became a columnist for a right-wing newspaper and a conservative. The thing currently blocking him from becoming PM is the fact that Omtzigt thinks Plasterk wronged him when he was leading government talks earlier this year.
I believe you guys can truly make great videos, but that makes it a bit disappointing that this one just misses so much.

3:17 Be careful, Wilders! One of the municipalities you led in the polls, Baarle-Nassau, needs migration to be as loose as possible due to the structure of its own border with Belgium, one that passes through anything you can think of. That border is so complex and its most complex portion is so densely-populated, that the border is marked clearly right on the pavement.
That border seriously needs to be cleaned up. It's insane.

Europe needs to have a no tolerance policy on illegal immigration. Controlled legal asylum seeking, at a rate the country can actually handle. Not a flood where seekers land up waiting for more than a month or two. Making people wait for years is just insane and begging for social problems.
Prioritise legal work visas out of all of this though.
Countries should also NEVER be shamed for the amount of refugees they feel they are comfortable integrating.
Also, better enforcement of deportation. Anyone entering the country signs to agree to integrate and not bitch about local traditions. Of course. You can keep doing your own traditions as long as theyâre accepted by the natives as well. But do not complain about local traditions.
Any commitment of serious crime, revocation of visa/passport and deported. End of story.

Well done TLDR
Im Dutch but I dont understand how a politician (Plasterk) from a non-cabinet party (Pvda) could become the prime minister. To whom is he accountabe?
I think that it's possible because Plasterk left politics to become a columnist for a while, and has shifted his views more aligned with that of the right than that of the PvdA
because this cabinet is a extra-parliamentary cabinet
He is not a current PvdA politician. He left parliament years ago. He's still a member of the party and will have to end his membership if he ends up PM though. He will be the face of the government of Geert Wilders and his coalition partners, so he will be accountable to those parties and to parliament in the same way that current PM Rutte is accountable to his government's parties and parliament. Importantly, though, it seems increasingly unlikely that he will be PM at all. He's currently caught up in some questions surrounding his integrity, supposedly having unjustly taken credit for and profited massively from some medical research at a Dutch university. It's unlikely he will be accepted by NSC's Omtzicht in particular before the investigation into that affair is closed, which could take weeks or months, which is time they don't have to waste on such issues
a scapegoat
The new government will be accountable to the parliament in which the 4 coalition parties have a majority. This is the normal deal in parliamentary democracies.
The leaders of the other coalition parties agreed to stay in parliament, thus ruling out the prime ministership for all of them. Besides that, good video!
They said that in the video...

The problem with immigration is that the immagrant now have to life outside in tiny tents and there have been cases where babies have died while waiting to even live in the country. We have a lot of work migration, study migration, family reunion migration, people who have lived in the Netherlands and want to go back migration and asylum seekers. The goverment only sees a problem in asylum seekers (but only from non europian country, when ukraine was attacked we welcomed hundreds of ukrainen asylum seekers).
The double standard is real.
Asylum seekers are treated awful, living in tiny tents, not having social contact with dutch people to learn the language, living in constant anxiety because they can be refused any time and be send back to maybe a country which still has a fucking war in it.

The problem is more so that many are doubtful that they can actually make their agenda a reality, or are sceptic their agenda will actually change anything. For example, I remember the former government's agenda to build 90.000 houses a year and we all know that didn't happen. All this is, is a list of what they'd like to achieve but whether it's realistic and whether they can actually do it is another question.
There are also many points on the list that involve the EU. And it's doubtful all of those (if any) will be agreed upon. However there will be an EU elections soon which might stir the pot, favourably or otherwise.

The fact that after the VVD initially ruled out working with the PVV. PVVâs polling skyrocketed even moreâŠâŠ
The media should really take a look at themselves. By constantly reporting this type of politicians, they not only give them more attention but also more votes from some classic rebellious voters.
Wouldn't want people to see a broad range of opinions would we.
Meaning even the VVD voters already being fooled for a decade with a left-operating leadership did not accept a move that would result in an extension of that.

Hey TLDR, i know sometimes you're on a timecrunch so mistakes are possible but some of the things you said are very misleading. First and most importantly; Ronald Plasterk is indeed technically a member of the PvdA, however since the days he was minister he shifted very right wing. You can hardly call the guy a centre-left politician, because he definitely isn't.
Secondly: the reasons for doubt about Plasterk are primarily because of personal feud between Omtzigt and him, but also because he is much more ideological aligned with Wilders then PvdA or NSC.
Thirdly: something you could have point out about the Dutch housing crisis is that for 3 governments in a row they tried but failed to build those 100.000 houses a year. Yes, the new one will try to do that as well, but it's both not new, and not something they will probably succeed in accomplishing it.
I'm a fan of you, but the video could have been a lot more informative.
Plasterk didnt shift ''very right wing''. He is still the same centre-left guy. He never changed his positions.. its the left that went extreme left and ''left'' (heh) many people on the left behind.
And the media also tries to push him as very right wing in order to discredit his voice as left-leaning person.

Stop narrating this bullshit talking point about PVV being economically left wing. It is a straight up lie if you look at the PVV's voting record. On economic policy their votes are mostly in line with the VVD, which makes sense cause Wilders is ex-VVD. Look at the coalition agreement and you'll see that there's not even a trace of "left wing economics"
