[OFF TOPIC] Politics Thread

3 seats for DENK (the Turkish party) is very worrying though. That means we'll have a party in the Dutch parliament who puts the interest of a foreign nation above the interests of the country in which parliament they are. It's so clear even when looking at their programme: they want to pretty much kill the Dutch army and things like that, it's just too obvious that they want to make the country weaker against Turkey..

It makes me think of this scene in the TV show Parks & Recreation:

Rutte - Erdogan round 2 comming to your local channel this april.  Will the fiery southern tyrant break the mild-mannered western historian. Check your local listings.

Second (and last) exit polls have the same result. Of course that's nothing official but it looks highly unlikely that VVD will lose, the tension and excitement is already over

Well, that is still only a fraction, unlike in other countries *cough* here *cough*, where the turkish party is the third biggest.

True. They managed to get this together in a matter of a few months though, since they broke lose from the usually biggest left party

According to some analysts the exitpolls, given the unexpected turnout (above 82%), could not be 100% truthful. Unfortunately, if we also see the US elections and the English and Italian referendum, the high turnout could help Wilders.

 

@heywoodu when i can find the official live results? In Netherlands you have a page managed by the state that gives the results of the elections?

I have read both "High turnout can help Wilders" and "high turnout can help the smaller parties"..

No matter if Wilders would win or not, having a turnout of well above 80% is very good news.

 

And I'm still looking for a good site with results as well

 

It has started btw, the first 2 small towns (islands actually) have sent in their results, but of course 2000-3000 people mean nothing for the overall result.

@Gianlu33

You can find results per town here:

http://www.rtlnieuws.nl/verkiezingen

 

The total results will be on that page, if you click on 'Per gemeente' you can choose the towns and cities and see the exact number of votes. 'Nulstand' means there's no result yet, 'Eindstand' means it's the final result for that town/city.
