The Netherlands After The Elections

The most calming fact about the 2012 Dutch elections is that Geert Wilders' Partij voor de Vrijheid (PVV) dropped down from 15% to 10%. Still a huge percentage considering that nearly one million Dutch have voted for the segregating populistic policy Wilders and his ones are propagating but a tendency showing clearly that one of three PVV voters at the previous elections was sending some kind of protest note to the representatives instead of being convinced of the party platform.

The winner of this year's elections is the moderate conservative liberal Volkspartij voor Vrijheid en Democratie (VVD) followed by the social democratic Partij van de Arbeid (PvdA).

The Dutch wing of the Pirate Party failed with only 30.000 votes playing at least a small political role in the common parliament. And the Anti Europa Partij got only 2.000 votes nationwide.
