whoever said the dutch were liberal and tolerant-->
the christian right-wing won the most seats in the recent dutch election:
from the news-
"Right-wing maverick Geert Wilders also had cause to celebrate. After leading a one-man faction in the outgoing parliament, he won nine seats on the strength of his powerful anti-immigrant message.
“We are a normal party that wants lower taxes and tougher sentences, but we are also proud of our culture and against the rise of Islam in Dutch society,” he said. “There are enough Muslims in the Netherlands and enough mosques.”
what is this! the immigration minister rita verdonk is so strict and in fact i think they're bordering on being too xenophobic. at the rate i think i can abandon my plan of moving to holland after graduation.
happy thanksgiving by the way!
off to eat some turkey!
