Yes. Our country has very weak politics. The collapse doesn't suprise me either. Not to mention that crime pays here in the Netherlands. There was this problem like a week ago where foreign people were blocking the roads with snow so when people couldn't pass the roadblock they were easy targets to mug. What does our goverment do? Jail them? Very wrong. They paid them to quit. I bet if someone would have slapped his mugger in the face he would be jailed. [B]Crime pays[/B] people, crime pays.

Oh fuck, now Wilders is gonna get all the votes and become Prime Minister! FUCK I NEED TO EMIGRATE QUICKLY!!!! In all seriousness, it's most likely gonna be Bos, which isn't a bad thing. At least he's got more charisma than a brick.
balkenende is a total fucktard.

The real reason of collapsing is the lack of trust as the Christian parties first agreed with the labour party to pull out the troops by August 2010, they said this two years ago. And now they pretty much said "fuck you" to the labour party and they didn't take that shit.

off topic: today on the news we had a dutch born proffessor in danish speak over satellite to us about the politics. he was better at danish than most people around here. safe to say i was dazzled. i thought he was just some dane journalist, nope. his name and his moustage proved otherwise. but then again, last year my teacher in Danish and English was a Dutch professor in linguistics off cambridge...

Wait, I don't really understand what happened... their parliament is gone now? Please forgive me if this is a dumb question, I'm not familiar with Dutch politics.
Yeah i think a lot of people have misunderstood, ill explain. The group had an agreement with the other 2 biggest parties, where they would unanimously vote for anything they proposed, creating a majority that would pass any bill. But apparently were really fed up with the decision of the other two parties, and decided to step out of this agreement, making them lose their majority. Personally i'm pretty happy as well, since i didn't agree with going to Afghanistan, and alot of other policies.
The thing im worried about is where the fuck my taxmoney goes now, first the banks and now those idiots who can't decide to leave a country alone or not?
This is what happens when the other NATO members don't pull their thumbs from out of their arseholes, the countries taking all the burden start to crack

The news over exaggerates this ofcourse. Balkenende just stepped down as prime minister and that is the only thing that happened. The parliament would be gone after some serious shit like a military takeover and shit like that.
