Dutch Government Resigns

[askDNA]

Row brings down Dutch government
The Dutch government is resigning after losing the support of one of its coalition partners, says Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende. D66, the coalition's smallest member, withdrew its support in a row over Immigration Minister Rita Verdonk.
Ms Verdonk had threatened to strip former politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali of her Dutch passport because of false information she gave in 1992.
Mr Balkenende said he would tender the government's resignation on Friday.
The D66 party pulled its support because Ms Verdonk, known as "Iron Rita" for her tough stance on immigration issues, refused to resign over her treatment of Ms Hirsi Ali.
Ms Hirsi Ali, 36, wrote a controversial film about the treatment of women in Islam, which was directed by Theo Van Gogh, who was later murdered by a Muslim extremist.
Mr Balkenende's announcement came after two days of debate in the parliament, where Ms Verdonk had done a U-turn on her stance on Ms Hirsi Ali, claiming she had found a legal loophole that would allow the Somali-born woman to stay.
The resignation of the government could lead to new elections in October.

No more Prime Minister Harry Potter?

[sp2c]

holy ****, that just came out of nowhere!!!
I never did like Dutch politics but this is redicoulous!!!!!!!

D66 just killed itself imo, when the cabinet signed up for Uruzgan without them agreeing with it they came back to work the next day, business as usual and now a Somali liar signing a statement where she agrees that she's a liar and everything was her fault or something and they go ballistic?

idiots, if we get a leftwing government coming elections because of this I'll be torching the houses of every fool that still a member of that stupid party


No more Prime Minister Harry Potter?

one can only hope :D

[Greek soldier]

Holland is lucky, now the Socialists won't sell the rest of the Army's/Navy's/AF's goodies. ;)

[sp2c]

wait 6 months and say that again after the lefty's get the command chair

and on veterans day for crying out loud, with all those troops a couple of meters away and military aircraft flying overhead you'd think they'd be a little bit more carefull about making a mockery of our political system ... maybe it is time for a little coup ;)

[Bert]

So what happens now, new elections? Authoritarian interim rule by Beatrix? p-)

that's what happens ... MUHAHAHAHAHA

no the current government will stay (without the D66 ministers who resigned) but can't make any big decisions
then there will be new elections in 3 or 4 months, they'll count the votes, take another 3 or 4 months to build a new government just for the heck of it and then we'll have a government again ... untill it falls again (this is the 3rd time in what, 4 years?)

[Resurrection]

Haha wow... that certainly did come out of no where. Good luck with the October election.

[Mirror]

Maybe a military take-over like in the Philipine's p-) .

Personaly i'm satisfied with the curred government. I think the Netherlands will decline under Wouter Bos. He is a ****ing leftist trying to sweet talk the public. Blaming the government, but yet having no real solutions himself.

[sp2c]

well in his defence, he does have solutions ... get a trainload of money from rich people and sell the military and throw it at the most obvious problem and hope it goes away.
if it does he'll cry victory if it doesn't he'll blame somebody and hide untill it blows over

[Mirror]

S:) true how could i possibly forget that.

Goede avond

[sp2c]

I hate that guy

but what now?
I was actually kind of happy with the way things were going but after this I'm affraid it's going to be all about the extremes coming elections Wilders and all the other racists vs Marijnessen and his commie buddies ... either way this is not going to help the military

I'm voting cristian union ... who needs women in politics anyways, this just proves it ;)

0 well goedenavond to you to :)

[askDNA]

So what is this talk about selling the dutch military?

[Bert]

So what is this talk about selling the dutch military?
Like every socialist in Europe, the dutch ones want to sell the military and spend the money on good things, like buying villas and BMWs for all the poor immigrants.

Wouter Bos would probably spend more money with lend money (with interest) from the rich, which would raise the national debt and things only worst.
I really hope that the pedophile's party get kicked out of the country. What are they thinking? Making *** with 13 year old legal? What they really need is some pounding in the ass!!
I think í'm gonna vote Christen Unie as well. It would be so cool having Andre Rouvoet as prime minister.

'I'm voting cristian union ... who needs women in politics anyways, this just proves it ;)' Like Rita Verdonk?:) Sorry just kiddin.

[sp2c]

Verdonk, Hirshi Ali, that fat chick that claimed to have cancer or something but didn't, Femke Halsema hell the politician that pulled the plug on this one is female as well (Loezewies vd Laan?)

THEY ARE NOTHING BUT TROUBLE (and they don't look good)

[Digital Marine]

I'm not quite looking forward to the SP getting more seats... :|

PEDOSMILE!! (http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=spot_the_pedo)

[Thunder]

We need a new Pim Fortuyn.

[sp2c]

god no, we need more of the old politicians that keep their stupid problems and undeserved ego's hidden behind closed doors

I'm ashamed to say it but I want Paars back

[Thunder]

Or that. As long as they're not a bunch of nancies who are unable to make decisions and have no idea what the people want, like we have now.

[sp2c]

indeed, all these clowns claim Fortuyn was a good guy (after he died) and that they'd incorporate his ideas into future politics but all they did was prove that they weren't really listening to him in the first place or are to stupid to understand them at all ... or both

when Fortuyn said he wanted to move politics out of the backrooms (achterkamertjes) in into full view of the public I don't think he meant that we need to know wtf Wilders puts in his hair or need to hear every single dumbass idea somebody thought of in the pub last night without discussing it with his fellow party members (who immedeately shoot it down) or hundreds of 'kamervragen' about the dumbest items

I say nobody that was in Balkenende I or II can come back after the elections because they all proved they were morons includign the opposition

[Greek soldier]

I liked Fortuyn's moto: "At your service". Sthm the politicians don't do.

We just had to choose one of the lesser morons.

[sp2c]

here's a prime example of a stupid kamervraag


4. Are the Dutch frigates deployed for Operation Enduring Freedom involved in military and strategic activities in Somalia, for instance by gathering intelligence? If yes, does the Netherlands make this intelligence available to the United States and do the United States use this intelligence for their activities in Somalia? www.defensie.nl/actueel/parlement/kamervragen/2006/3/20060703_somalie.aspx

there are no frigates deployed on Enduring Freedom right now bitch stop wasting everybody's time!

anyways Balkenende get's a go at forming his third government within 4 years, I think there will new elections in october
