The result of the recent Dutch general election result is being widely touted as a victory for the “Dutch Trump,” strident anti-Islam campaigner Geert Wilders [What Geert Wilders’ victory means for Dutch society, by Anne Holligan, BBC News, November 25, 2023]. But I see the reality as more nuanced. Wilders is certainly the latest evidence of the gathering backlash in white countries against the Great Replacement. But there’s also increasing polarization—the centrist parties collapsed and Leftist parties expanded. And balkanization—literally: DENK, a party representing Turkish and other Muslims, won three seats. The impact of immigration is making Dutch politics more…interesting, across the board.
Though Wilders has toned down his rhetoric in recent years in order to make his Freedom Party more electable, his policies have included banning the Koran and banning the building of new mosques in the Netherlands and he has a “Hate Speech” conviction for referring to Moroccans in the Netherlands as “scum.” In 2009, he was briefly banned from the UK as a threat to public order, and he has lived under police protection since 2004 due to threats over his views on Islam. (This is not a joke: the previous most prominent immigration patriot leader, Pim Fortuyn, was assassinated by a white Leftist pro-immigration fanatic in 2001). His current policies include the Netherlands leaving the European Union, banning Islamic headscarves in public buildings, a complete halt to asylum-seekers entering the country, ending all foreign aid and putting the Dutch people first [Geert Wilders: Who is he and what does he want?, by Paul Kirby, BBC News, November 24, 2023].
There are a number of clear reasons for the “victory” of his party, which was the third largest in parliament after the last Dutch election and has now risen to first place. The massive influx of foreigners into the already densely populated Netherlands has led to a housing crisis and difficulties accessing health services. The leader of the center right VVD, which led the 2021-3 coalition government, said she might be prepared to go into coalition with Wilders (she has since changed her mind), which made him seem less extreme in the eyes of potential voters. The entire election campaign ended-up being focused on immigration, which is Wilders’ key issue.
Additionally, despite his far-Right media portrayal, Wilders is strongly pro-Israel and has spent time on a kibbutz. (His wife, who rarely appears in public, is reportedly Jewish [Geert Wilders Family: All About Wife Krisztina Wilders And Children , Times Now, November 23, 2021]. He himself is reportedly part-Jewish and Indonesian [Geert Wilders’ Indonesian roots define his politics, says anthropologist, vorige.nrc.nl, September 4, 2009]).
The Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, therefore, seemed to prove, to many voters, that everything Wilders had long been saying about Islam—that it is an intolerant religion incompatible with Western values—was correct. Most importantly, however, Wilders performed extremely well in the TV debates with the other party leaders. Before these took place, it was looking like Wilders’ party might come third again. After these, the polls were suddenly predicting that he would come first, which he duly did, by quite a large margin [Geert Wilders’ victory in Netherlands election spooks Europe, by Katya Adler, BBC News, November 24, 2023].
In addition, the narrative that the Dutch people have “had enough” of traditional politics is added to by the rise from nowhere of a party called “New Social Contract” which is populist and libertarian and whose leader has said he is open to working with Wilders.
But I am not sure that this is the great triumph for the “Far Right” that even the BBC seems to claim it is.
The Netherlands operates a system of pure Proportional Representation with its lower house, the House of Representatives, having 150 seats. Legislators are, therefore, elected from a single nationwide list for each party. There is no percentage cut-off point, so tiny parties can gain seats. The Freedom Party of Geert Wilders garnered 23% of the vote, up from 10% in 2021, giving it 37 seats. This is certainly an impressive result when you consider that the VVD, the party of the outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte, only achieved 21.8% of the vote in 2021.
However, it was what happened in second place which is, I think, almost as interesting as Wilders’ “victory.” In 2021, second place was occupied by the center-left liberal D66 on 15% of the vote, while the Labour Party and the Green Party were in sixth and seventh place with 5% of the vote each. In the 2023 election, however, there has been a collapse in support for both the center-left and the center-right and a movement towards the political extremes: polarization. Wilders did best among voters aged 18 to 35, where he scored higher than any other party [Geert Wilders: the anti-Islam leader vowing to ‘put the Dutch first’, by Andy Bounds, Financial Times, November 24, 2023], but, clearly, many young native Dutch were voting for parties other than the Freedom Party. This was not simply a vote along ethnic lines.
Second place went to an alliance between the Labour Party and the Green Party which took 15% of the vote, a clear increase for both parties since 2021 when they ran separately. Third place went to the good-government New Social Contract with 12% of the vote, having come from nowhere, while social liberal D66 collapsed from 15% of the vote down to just 6%.
In addition, and for some reason very few outlets outside of the Netherlands have commented on this, DENK (the name means “think” in Dutch and “equal” or balanced in Turkish) held on to its three seats, suggesting that identity politics has come to stay in the Netherlands, albeit only for immigrants; and the beginning of Balkanization.
As with the British Brexit vote, there is also strong geographical polarization. The densely-populated Dutch cities strongly voted for the Labour-Green Alliance, which came first in both the Utrecht region and in North Holland. Dutch cities are now heavily minority but, also as in Britain, there are also many appalling white urban Leftists. Rural areas are still, well, Dutch. [How Geert Wilders Won by Paul Tullis, NYT, November 28, 2023]
Russian social scientist Peter Turchin has predicted, based on his modelling, that the 2020s should be a period of extreme polarization, not least due to there being an excess of labor. With massive long-term immigration into the Netherlands, this is precisely what we are now seeing.
Of course it will be difficult for Geert Wilders to form a government in the Netherlands. He requires 76 seats to form a majority and the Labour-Green Alliance have already made it clear that won’t work with him, claiming that he is somehow a danger to “democracy.” As is usual with Dutch coalitions, the negotiations are likely to take many months, during which time the outgoing government will be a caretaker. Wilders may well have to choose between his priorities[Geert Wilders will have to scrap most of manifesto to enter government, say experts, by Jon Henley, Guardian, November 29, 2023].
Geert Wilders (PVV) who won the most seats in last week’s election, will have to sacrifice almost all his far-right manifesto to enter government, analysts say – and even that may not be enough for him to form a new coalition. https://t.co/BbYEllcGjc

But after so many years in the political wilderness since he entered the House of Representatives in 1998, Wilders must be glad to have such problems.

Since 1945 ZOG will not legally or democratically allow an authentic white fascist/NS party/politician to obtain power in any of these ‘western nations’, so they provide the white-wing with phony ‘nationalist’ controlled opposition candidates like Trump, Wilders, Meloni etc., who pledge they’ll stop the immigrant scum or expel them, but once assuming ‘power’ they do nothing. The whites continue voting & believing in them however.
Over the past 100+ years the Jews & Christians intentionally increased the nonwhite population of the world (via the importation of western medicine/aid/vaccines etc., into Africa/Asia/Latin America) in preparation for their eventual mass organized invasion & conquest of the Christianized West, as is transpiring now.
Western values do not entail unconditional submission to oppression and injustice.
Ah leftist stupidity!
Saying they won’t work with the party that won, which derails democracy, because he’s bad for democracy…
Do they even know what words mean?
The hope is that Wilders will form a practical approach to end mass immigration that other countries can follow. He must be successful in order for Europe to survive.
Do YOU know what democracy means? It seems not. Since when is a party not allowed to state its position clearly and refuse to participate in a certain coalition? Since when is a party obliged to participate in a certain coalition?
Exactly, in the “democracy” you obviously believe in, the type that the U.S. and its Western lapdogs stand for: does as I say, don’t do as I do. 🤣
All sounds very confusing and stressful. Maybe, Geert should just go and pick some tulips, kick off his wooden shoes, pop open a Heineken and chill in one of those windmills.
At best he will succeed in cutting sales tax on diamonds. And banning Hijabs in public libraries. yay!
The Christian management/administrator class actually think that race doesn’t exist. They had, over the medieval period, culled the domestic population of whites so successfully that murder practically vanished. Why would they not be able to do that with blacks? They did not expect what occurred.
The Darwinists of the 1800s expected they couldn’t in fact civilize nogs and that they’d exterminate the nogs anyway. Charles Darwin expected white settlers would make Africa white.
For perspective, remember that genuine far right is something like: bring back duelling and certain forms of serfdom. Allow folks to sell themselves into slavery.
While Wilder’s success is a blow to the Empire of Lies et al, he’s fundamentally still a leftist. It’s kinda woozy-doozy leftist vs. completely batshit insane leftist.

Hey Ed, how does the BBB party fit into all this?
What must happen is the De-Colonization of White Minds of the Jewish ideological and idolatrous virus of Diversity and Negrolatry.
Europe doesn’t exist, Britain doesn’t exist.
A survey recently in Britain found that the majority regret leaving Europe. Europe! Britain regrets leaving that place with its energy woes and mass immigration problems?
Europe is finished as unique people, multiculturalism has robbed them of any fight or cohesion they are fast becoming third world countries.
No pity here for countries that have turned to others and have favored others over the native born, leadership who do that are traitorous scum and should be hung.
The U.S is fast becoming the next domino to fall, at least Russia will fight, even the Houti fight…not the pampered West who will only fight if it means dropping bombs from miles up, Zionist way of fighting.
It seems many white people define themselves by (delusional and misguided) virtue than by (real and tangible) identity and existence. The former is more appealing to some, especially the ‘educated’, because it requires some degree of consciousness and effort, whereas the latter is simply about being. Higher Believing > Mere Being.
So, an Irish who mainly identifies as Irish and patriot is deemed primitive and crude. His sense of rightness is tied to what he simply is. It’s ‘apelike’.
In contrast, an Irish who defines himself by belief(or ‘consciousness’) is deemed a higher being, one that crawled out of the primal pool of ‘nationalism’. It’s ‘aspirational’.
Because the Irish have so long been characterized as the hicks of Europe into hard drink, clannishness, religious dogma, tribal politics, and machismo, the modern Irish are especially anxious to score points on the ‘progressive’ board, of course with the ‘values’ and ‘agendas’ having been defined by Jews whose ultimate goal is to undermine goy nations.
What must be done is to convince people that Being should be the Believing. The national duty of people is to believe in themselves as a people, culture, heritage, and homeland.
It must be about Preservation, Protection, and Procreation.
Preservation maintains heritage, culture, and historical narratives of the past. Protection maintains borders and laws to ensure that the nation will be swamped/invaded and its native population terrorized and replaced. Procreation is based on the understanding that no one lives forever, and that new healthy generations must be produced to carry on with the national project.
The three P’s must form the basis of the new consciousness where the reality of Being serves as the foundation of National Believing.
They may dislike him but he was the choice their system gave them.
Since “American democracy” has become the world’s joke, it’s okay to use it as an example. When Richard Nixon won the 1968 election it was a given that he was hated, a man considered a throwback to the McCarthy Blacklist days and all that. But he was the acknowledged president and given the courtesy of the office. Till they found a way to run him out.
Forward to Trump — also won according to the numbers. Also hated by the permanent establishment but was never given an ounce of respect or a moment to carry out the duties of the office he held. Whether he should have been there or not is a separate issue. He was sabotaged and seemed autistic to the fact.
Democracy is a check and balance on a system. It assumes the system serves people’s common aim. That’s what’s missing whether in the Netherlands or anywhere. European man created a system that is in various ways cannot be made to work for him.
I mean they “don’t know what the word means” in the broad context: For years and in many different systems Europeans have said NO to open borders. No matter what, it goes unheeded. The situation, to paraphrase Stalin is now more like “Democracy had its chance to stop the hordes and failed. It’s time to let the cannons do it instead.”
We’re getting unstable fast. Won’t be long until the global bosses will pine for the modest demonstrations they had in Dublin recently. We can’t vote them out. We can’t publicly petition for their attention without being smeared. Takes no genius to know what comes next.
Your right Priss Factor. As I been saying for decades the European races and ethnicities have been
under a mental colonization ( John Taylor Gatto’s term in his great book The Underground History of American Public Education) for a long time by the Khazari Turkic Mongol kikes, or these so called semites. What your a semite? What the f-ck are you doing with a European sir name you sand-nigger? You god-damn arab! This is their mode of action. First their a shifting mob, vagabonds. They shift from this European country to this European country to that European county ad nauseum throughout the centuries. Then these scumbags borrow and steal racial and ethnic attributes that they would not ordinarily posses. Look at that kike bitch lady lynn de rothschild. The bitch looks like a Hitler youth girl! Ya we’ll show Adolph, we are going to usurp your Nordic-Teutonic race and ethnicity and the other Europeans. I’m not making this up, I’m originally from New York born in Manhattan by the way, nuff said since that’s where tons of theses yid’s live.
These yid’s have a rabid maniacal fanatical fetish for the European races. I do not no what is going on subconsciously in their minds but it’s there in spades. Oh buy the way De or Von in West Frank and East Frank German means Noble, which these turds aren’t period. Then they borrow, actually steal European racial and ethic sir names (same as the SSAN’s-sub saharan african negroes and others are doing now). Then they borrow or Steal characteristic from the European races and ethnicities. As the man said in 1943 in his great book publish in America, I will not give you the author’s name but he was of European lineage, you can only have utter contempt, disdain, and hatred for those who borrow or steal characteristics that they would not naturally have. Also another outstanding psychological insight from this same man was that alien races who have borrowed characteristics for other ethnicities can have no and I mean NO sympathy for anyone else. I could go on but I have things to finish up today.
Cheers.
I agree with that. However, my original reply to you concerned this comment you made:
You criticized parties that stated upfront they won’t work with Wilders because it is undemocratic: you have not explained why that is undenocratic.
It’s the EU that decides how many refugees each EU-member country has to take in, and it’s NATO that creates millions of refugees by destroying (or setting up to be destroyed), e.g., Libya, Syria, and Ukraine. The only legal ways of regaining sovereign control over immigration are to change EU policy (good luck) or to withdraw from the EU. The only practical way to stem floods of incoming refugees is to stop destroying their countries of origin.
Wilders has said that he wants to hold a referendum on exiting the EU and that he doesn’t want to spend another Dutch cent on “defending” Ukraine. But while the Netherlands is a net payer of EU subsidies, it is also an intra-EU corporate tax haven, Dutch mass media are overwhelmingly pro-EU and pro-NATO, and European leaders who play ball with the EU and NATO have been getting sweet golden-parachute sinecures from the likes of Goldman Sachs and the Blair Foundation.
Even the US looks set to pull the plug on Ukraine, but assuming for the sake of argument that Wilders and PVV are able to cobble together a governing coalition, will a Nexit referendum actually ensue? Color me skeptical. Giorgia Melloni and the Brothers of Italy came out on top in Italy partly on the strength of an anti-immigrant platform, but like Greece under left-wing Syriza before them, they didn’t have the balls to withdraw from the EU, and now Italy is taking in literally double the number of refugees they were before, making both the EU and cheap-labor-seeking Italian industrialists (pardon the pleonasm) very happy.
I should probably say that democracy can’t work at all when one issue that directly affects the lives of most citizens can’t be acted on. If it means democracy is a bad system in this era, you’re right. Juntas and communist nations guarded their people’s interests better than most democracies now; a few exceptions (Orban, for instance) are now such big exceptions they probably don’t count.
I get your drift now. When you say
it does not apply to the Dutch system. It is a system of true proportional representation, so there all always coalition governments, so if Wilders cannot get the VVD to cooperate with him, he’ll have to find another partner or partners. And if he fails at that, it means Dutch society at large does not approve of his party and he will have to remain in opposition, which is a truly democratic way.
