  • Dutch Elections Pose Next Major EuroZone Political Risk

    From orbex.com

    The build-up to the March 15th Dutch elections will be watched by the market very closely. Current polling indicates that Geert Wilders’ anti-EU Freedom is ahead and likely to win over 30 of the 150 parliamentary seats. The party has called for “de-Islamification” of the Netherlands and pledged to withdraw the country from the EU. If the polls are correct in predicting strong support for populism by the Dutch, it could fuel fears of a similar showing in the upcoming French elections. Although this is clearly well below the amount needed for an outright majority, it is important to note that The Netherlands has ... (full story)

30 of 150 seats. That's a measly 20%, so take it easy.

Mark my words, the EU will outlive the UK and probably the US as well.

No worries here !

Just to give some context, in 2012 only two parties achieved more than 30 seats, the rest all achieved 15 and under. So, grabbing 30 seats would prove significant even though it's only 20% as you rightly say

Assuming that 20% of parliamentary seats represents 20% of the Dutch electorate, I would say that it is very worrying for the Netherlands, especially given that the Dutch are renowned for their tolerance. This means that 20% of the electorate are so frustrated with the EU that they are willing to align themselves with a party which is so anti EU, anti Islam and anti immigrant. If I were the EU, I would be very worried indeed.

While most here have become embroiled in the Trump Dossier scandal, and the involvement of Russian Intelligence agencies in the US Presidential election, it is much more important now to focus on Russia policy interest in the pending European Election cycle. While an ideal outcome for Putin would be the establishment of more benign EU political profile, political destabilization, and the harnessing of populist frustration, ALL forms of destabilization may be regarded as being in the Russian interest.

Both the UK and the EU democracies have created significant difficulties through sanction and blocklists, for Putins regime. It is axiomatic that this increases the priority for Putin and FSB to exert what influence they can on the outcome of these elections to secure a more favorable populist regimes in leading EU nations.

The Trump debacle, which continues to divide many in the US, has shaken allies faith in the integrity of the incoming Trump administration, has driven serious wedges between in incoming administration, and the US intelligence community, has been a great victory for Putin. (whether PE Trump has been compromised or not), one thing CAN be established from current events, and that the uncertainty, the internal conflict, the divisive rhetoric, doubt and distrust it has fostered is a major success for Russian foreign policy aspirations.

Le Pens exposed Russian connections are already in the public domain.
Others, where they exist, must likewise be exposed and outed.
Europe and the UK, must learn from whats happening in the US, and prevent a replay.

That is actually incorrect. North Korea was not born out of Fascism, but communism which are two different ideologies with certain degrees of divergence in their concepts.

What you call populism is simply the electorate calling the government and the EU to account. The fact that the EU and the national governments only answer to these criticisms is "Europe needs more EU" is in its self the definition of Fascism

Following the Japanese surrender at the end of World War II in 1945, Korea was divided into two zones along the 38th parallel by the United States and the Soviet Union, with the north occupied by the Soviets and the south by the Americans.

While this exchange of abuse is amusing..
there are central questions above that are deserving of better..
Particularly our understanding of "populism"

IMHO one aspect of populism is a healthy dimension of political diversity.
Its at the core of democracy in as much as it respects the will of majority,
However IMHO The success of Democracy depends on an electorate using exercising their franchise with reason and responsibility whereas Populism encourages emotional and prejudiced exercise, and to that extent it exposes itself to abuse and manipulation. In my view it becomes dangerous to society, and destabilizing, when it exploits emotional, xenophobic nationalistic and racist themes, encouraged and manipulated by political extremists, who amplify and exploit genuine fears and concerns with simplistic answers to what are often very complex problems.
Typically Populist lobbyists and leaders, manipulate the most disaffected and vulnerable, the least educated, the conspiracy theorists and general outsiders. Though it may also attract selfproclaimed anarchists from the mainstream They exploit their audiences lack of understanding of the system, and build celebrity status to present themslves as champions of often very legitimate causes... for acquisition and retention of personal power.

I think of it bit like the stereotyped used car or double glazing salesman, who ply vulnerable customers with irresponsible ego-appealing claims, eschew accountability and peddle highly unethical, distorted and simplistic presentations of what they are trying to sell.
Nothing wrong with used car salesmen. or double glazing salesmen.. some very ethical, but but many of their sales techniques are highly questionable and unaccountable..
Which is why weve got the sale of goods and consumer protection acts.
Unfortunately neither apply to popularist con-men... who appeal to emotion fear and prejudice ... (edit) nationalism, racism, sectarianism and xenophobia, rather than reason.

It doesn't matter to me what your opinions on Academics are, that is a fringe abstract to think the way you do on that matter, which I disagree. I was stating facts that the majority of people who are astute observers of history and the terms that are and have been defined, and is widely accepted as facts is something you incorrectly characterized and the examples you had used is misstating facts altogether. That is all my point is. Nothing else and nothing more.

Most EU countries do not have a say on important matters within the rules of the game. The Dutch elections aren't very relevant (other than serving as an indicator for the German elections in September). All major decisions on global politics are made in Washington, London, Berlin, and Brussels - in that order. The other talking heads provide support to market those decisions to the respective electorate. They do matter in terms of specifics of domestic policy, but even there they have a very limited sway.

You shouldn't judge others by what you choose to do in your spare time. Your peccadilloes are safe with us. The issue with understanding your comments have nothing to do with me and everything to do with your ability to communicate clearly. As I have advised you before, get someone to check you comment before posting, it will be less embarrassing for you

I am guessing and purely out of luck I will go out on a limb here, but there seems to be some long back ground story I am not privy to. There are ones with civil decorum and then there are ones who are agitators for what ever reasons their motives are, and I believe is to satisfy their own urges, nevertheless they get off on being the antagonist. At least that is the impression I am getting in these parts. I am questioning my own use of time and whether or not I am wasting it on such futile efforts. A sense of guilt starts to over come me as I contemplate that question.

I can understand how you see the last part, and without knowing the history, that would fair comment. It all stemmed from EU discussions, which as you may well have gathered, is an entity I utterly detest. So for me it is not a waste of time and I managed to both feed my interest and garner entertainment in between trades

Hier in Deutschland gibt es so viele Ausländer, angefangen von Iren, Engländern und Amerikanern - neben vielen anderen - und wenn man nun bei all diesen Zugezogenen auf perfektes Deutsch achten würden, würde man von denen die das erwarten denken, dass sie primitiv und hinterwäldlerisch sind - welch Primitivlinge!
Sogar mit denen die bereits seit vielen Jahren hier leben, spricht man zum Teil in ihrer Sprache - einfach auf Grund von Respekt.

Euch Brexitliningen verdankend, wird sich unser Englisch noch weiter verschlechtern, da es in Europa an Bedeutung verlieren wird.

According to Google translate:


You wretched full post!
Here in Germany there are so many foreigners, starting from the Irish, the English and the Americans - among many others - and if one were to look after perfect German with all these people, one would expect them to be primitive and backward - what primitives!
Even with those who have lived here for many years, they speak in their own language - simply because of respect.

Thanks to you Brexitliningen, our English will deteriorate further, as it will lose importance in Europe.

Repeat after me: Ich bin ein krapfen.

Don't be silly. If it were only grammar, I wouldn't have anything to say about your posts, they often just don't make sense in English. If you post a stupid or inarticulate comment in here, on a subject that interests me, I guarantee you that I will call it as I see it. Blödmann

sorry if I was not clear like you ( I look at the FF. Sometimes, by the way (no time for grammar) I just snap a comment or a reflection)

I have looked for a different definition but can not find one. and it appears to have become a dirty word since the mainstream political parties are losing ground to more
the point I was trying to make was this is populism to me

populism-support for the concerns of ordinary people.
ordinary-with no special or distinctive features; normal
concern-make (someone) anxious or worried
popular party/individuals and are now trying to shut people up with POPULISM and before this it was calling people racist or islamophobic to shut them up I can see a pattern forming just call the ordinary people names to shame them into silence. if this pattern continuous we may as well be in north Korea as they have no POPULIST

POPULISM is just the most political parties/individuals getting the most votes it's not a bad thing and should not be used as a dirty word Obama was/is a POPULIST it's not a bad thing if I was eligible to vote in the USA I may/may not have voted for him but you have to respect the will of the people or you are going to have trouble

Hi mate, I'm sorry I was out. Please read again my previous posts related to the topic. It's only a few lines to read, but I think I´ve written almost everything. In short, Populists are not the popular majority, but an aggressive minority that, if necessary, will use also force to achieve its political goals.

by the dictionary definition it's not the definition says nothing about (aggressive minority that, if necessary, will use also force to achieve its political goals)

it says
populism-support for the concerns of ordinary people

ordinary people in Europe are not aggressive mad men they believe in democracy and are voting in the most popular party/individual to represent them
