we have a huge housing crisis while the ruling party (VVD) has fucked up a lot since 2010. he offers a compelling scapegoat: it’s of course the migrants that leave our children without homes, take all our benefits, commit all the crimes and whatever else you want to blame them for. the current cabinet fell over the handling of asylum seekers and his position as outsider and opposition poses him as the alternative we need to his voter base. he has also been less vocal/more palatable about his most racist views.
what do you mean by this? i'm totally out of the loop here
