Nato priority

The collapse of the government was announced after a 16-hour cabinet meeting.

Mr Balkenende had been considering the Nato request
The prime minister said there was no common ground between the parties.

"Where there is no trust, it is difficult to work together. There is no good path to allow this cabinet to go further," he said.

What an ideal time for it to go wrong so the PVV stands a better chance at gaining power (PVV = geert wilders and his fellow extremists)

we have about 5 equal big parties. to have a majority, the coalition must have 76 seats. the 5 big parties have about ~20 seats in the predictions. so the formation will be a bitch

I'd like to see Wilders in charge, PvdA (Labour Party), has been giving away millions of Euro's to Turkey, as a result,

taxes increases like mad,
AOW (a law to finance people who aren't able to work ex. handicaps) decreases.

All because PvdA wants Turkey to be member of the European Union.
Problem being, Turkey has to accept certain rules that are common to the rest of Europe but will not budge.

Wilders wants to reverse this by cutting of Turkey from it's budget and raise the AOW as written above.

----
Also, Wilders wants to tighten up immigration. People that come here and live of welfare without any attempt of getting a job, will be sent back to their homeland. These people have little to no education. So I find this a good move to save thousands of Euro's which can be spent on medical care and it will make room for people that actually have a diploma or degree that are willing to work.

3rd of March, I am going to vote for Wilders and if he comes out as the winner, shit will change drastic.

Wow, fourth collapse in eight years. Pretty fickle panzies, is how it sounds.

Can't agree on Afghanistan so they take their ball off the field and go pouting home.

Pussies.

Wilders is nothing but a dumb fucking troll.

For the most part, I'd agree, but apparently, Britain thought he was too dangerous to allow into their country. Also, the Dutch government seems to think him speaking his mind is illegal.

The Brits also though letting Michael Savage into their country was dangerous. That's hardly a decent rationale.

Agreed. Savage and Wilders are bigots, but they aren't threats to national security.

He's currently facing a court case that is attempting to either fine or imprison him for "hate speech."

To be fair though, I just found that Wilders's ban was overturned by Britain. So kudos to the U.K. for supporting free speech after all.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_Geert_Wilders

Some previous attempts to prosecute Wilders for hate speech have failed, but there is a current trial he is facing for about the same charges. So let me rephrase.

The Dutch government may or may not decide that him speaking his mind is illegal.
