I would almost say, "welcome in the world of politicians", here in the netherlands we vote for idea's, as you know very well. But do we ever get the idea's that we vote for? No, last elections there were many many votes for PVV, but none of the other party's would like to cooperate with PVV. I don't say that they are so great, but what we do have now isn't great either. I hope for your country that there will come a change!
True, Dutch politics in the end is also not perfect. But even if the party doesnt come into coalition, they still have a large voice in opposition. And like Hennis-Plasterk, after her scandal she didnt come up for re-election. Thats how it should be
