Hi, I am thinking of studying in Eindhoven, there is a master’s degree I really like. I have been interested in the Netherlands for quite some time since urbanists think really highly of the country. I got the news of the far-right winning the first round of the elections and that got me concerned.
I would like to know how local leftists view the change, abject terror? or “whatever” we got a robust system they won’t be able to do much harm?
The have 37 seats in the house of representatives. There are 150 seats total, which means they need to work together with other parties to reach a majority. This means that both the PVV and the other coalition parties need to make concessions to be able to rule together. So I wouldn’t worry to much about everything changing in a short amount of time.
