    As a dutch guy i was already ashamed with Mr. Balkenende (Harry Potter runs Holland) for 8 years, but now that so many people vote for Mr. Wilders, shame came to new heights. Holland known for its tolerance votes now for a near racist party... I'm sorry guys...

      Are you talking about the VVD party or the PVV? I know next to nothing about Dutch politics other than that the PVV party leader was being prosecuted for some kind of race crime last time I was here. I thought the VVD party won the election? There's not much coverage in English.

          Just read that report, but it has been a growing trend in Holland, (and indeed in all of the Netherlands), for quite a while.

            The reason the Dutch are voting right wing is to protect their attitude of tollerance because the massive immigraiton and subsequent strength of Islam, a notably intollerant religion, is changing Holland in a way in which ordinary people dont like. Dont appologise for having respect for your own culture, and the Dutch shuold have a lot of respect, since it has for centuries been the most modern society on earth, in many respects. And just because the Nazis existed 70 years ago does not mean right wing parties are inherently wrong. And also dont forget it is our fear of being seen as right wing that has allowed liberal attitudes to prosper that have generated this backlash: For example, when the state didnt react to Muslims protesting with 'I love AlQuaeda' head scarves in Britain, then the British reacted, by voting right wing and electing BNP members to the EU parliment.

            Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription
