Wouldn't it be nice if we could get an 88% turnout out at a GE, pretty impressive.
Big gains for the greens great stuff, big loss for the bigots. Farage will be gutted, Europe has woken up
Merkel is centre right but would make a brilliant British left wing politician. It's all relative.

Can you link to the video this happened on?
Of course they will both want to address it as a failure for the right.. it suits their agenda in the run up to May and Sept.... but it is a definite shift to the right, PVV went from nothing to 20.... a few more of the inevitable IS inspired shootings or well publicised atrocities and that could easily shift again.... the incumbent won the most seats, but he lost 25% of his share, Merkel et al don't want that stat banded about too much.European leaders have welcomed the result of the Netherlands election, which saw the anti-immigration party of Geert Wilders fail to become the largest in parliament.
Prime Minister Mark Rutte's centre-right VVD won by some margin.
For Francois Hollande of France it was a "clear victory against extremism", while German Chancellor Angela Merkel hailed a "good day for democracy".
The vote was closely watched ahead of elections in France and Germany.
The Netherlands was seen by many as a bellwether for how populist parties will perform in those polls.
