Oops he did it again...

Posted on Thursday, June 29, 2006 10:50 PM

The second term in Dutch government for the Balkenende coalition prematurely ended today.

After two days of debating the Ayaan Hirsi Ali debacle, coalition party D66 put their money where their mouth is, and resigned.

I tried to watch the complete debate last night, so I am going to catch me some sleep now. I am going to dream of a better government, which will combine both ambitious vision and kind compassion.

A girl can dream, no?

What a wonderful day! I have been looking forward to seeing Balkenende announce his resignation for three long years. And it was even more beautiful than I had imagined.

At least D66 will probably be reduced to the level of the SGP in the next election. Let's see how far the country will lurch to the left this time. Labour (PvdA), Greens (GL) and Socialist (SP) maybe. I promised myself I'd emigrate when the SGP would sit in government, but the aforementioned coalition of left parties isn't my idea of a dream-team either. (well, depends on the kind of dream, obviously)

Well I am an avowed lefty so to me it sounds perfect :) But I don't think you need to worry about it, the Dutch have a tendency to flock to the middle of the spectrum when they enter the voting booth (except when a new Populist Pim arises, in that case, God help us).

What I hope will disappear is populism. I want people in government who have ideals and knowledge, instead of just blindly following the daily opinion polls and shouting whatever they think The People want.

The Dutch will surely get the government they deserve. What do the Dutch want? The same, but more of it? I'm affraid so.

Argh but first we get another helping of Balkenende: Balkenende III. I can't believe it. So now we have a full-on right wing cabinet? *shudders*
