pete_dushenski: in geert wilders news, his pvv (
freedom) party is looking like it'll grab the second most seats in the 150-seat dutch parliament with... 19. crazy fractured system. italy / israel level. then again, these figures are "according to exit polls" which are worth as much as hillary "looking past the election". should be a lively night if all the dutch nate silvers get similarly thumped.
ben_vulpes: "are open to anyone who want to create a bright future that's rich with opportunity and
freedom for all" << what if my bright future doesn't include towelheads, but it's still bright for everyone else, am i still welcome?
