Wilders only scores high in the polls and never in the actual elections. Stop selling bullshit.
- tornadoboy55 10y agoSince I can't edit anymore: nice of you guys to put me at -3, but Wilders has had multiple election cycles where he is high in the polls but always ends either low or middling. These are facts since one can simply look up past election results.
- zigzigzag 10y agoAnd polls never indicated the UK would vote out of the EU until it did. So sure, perhaps Wilders won't get anywhere once again. But he's not getting less popular. Political pressure in Europe is building and there doesn't seem to be much of a release valve: in a well functioning democracy you would see other politicians react to a popular upstart by co-opting some of their policies, but that doesn't seem to be happening much (except maybe in France a little bit?).
