RE: 9 Most Significant Things You Need To Know About The Turkey Vs. Netherlands Fiasco
So if I understand your projections correctly...Erdogan wins and the more conservative and anti globalist parties will benefit in the Dutch election?
Jup.
It is hard to say how much the conservative and anti globalist parties in the Netherlands will benefit, because there are many (new) of them in the election. Right now the polls say Mark Rutte and Geert Wilders will be the biggest parties, but only with 24 seats each (the parliament has 150 seats).
I don't see Erdogan backing down his power play, so the Dutch electorate may become even more aggitated at Turkey and vote even more anti globalist.
I am not familiar with the Dutch political system, but it would seem that no one party would have a majority? They would need to form a coalition?
If you were amazed by the fact that 28 parties are participating in the election, here is an absolute mindf*ck: 81 parties did apply to join the elections, but most of them did not meet requirements. =p
Forming a coalition is indeed inherent in the multi party system we have in the Netherlands. And election after election, it is becoming more difficult in the last decades. Because the parties that have long formed the status quo are losing ground - there are more 'floating voters' and in this election there are 28 parties that want their votes.
