    It says online that the Netherlands aren’t due for another election in like 3 years? Polls at this point would be basically irrelevant, no?

    I think these new far right parties burn themselves out when, by virtue of existing on a national scale, will be seen as part of the 'elite' by these voters. You're not unheard when you get invited onto the talkshows.

    PVV managed to monopolize this niche for so long because it only has two members, both of whom are geert wilders.

    Farmer-citizen movement? Agrarian? Isn't this volkisch as fuck? How is this even legal in a civilized country?

        It's volkisch. This bullshit was literally invented by Nazis. The government should find out where the leadership meetings are and attack the building with drone strikes.

          Van der Plas just represents the Dutch conservatives who have their misplaced national pride put in the farmers. There's no fascist rhetoric, antidemocratic values, or any of the other factors you'd expect to go with a Volkisch agrarian antidemocratic union.

          There's completely different material conditions to the development of fascism in the current day. If you can read Dutch, I can link an interesting master's thesis on the modern Dutch far right (since Fortuijn) and how they relate to classical fascism.

          There's actual fascists in Dutch parliament, in the FvD party, namely Baudet and van Meijeren.

            If it looks like a fascist, and gets praised by fascists, it's a fascist. I'm sure if you're a fascist there's a lot of nuance, but fash gonna fash.

            Drone strikes are the solution to the problem here.
