>The Dutch government is still unstable and it's highly unlikely Rutte will survive his term I'd be incredibly surprised if anything of note changes in the next few years. The population is way too fractured already. The elderly vote to keep what they currently have, the home owners vote to keep things as is, the people vested in assets will vote to keep things as is, not enough young people to vote against the status quo, and no party ever seems to get enough votes to truly have a significant say in the matter. This situation seems to be present in most countries, too. >Europe still doesn't have any sort of common concept on how to deal with immigrants and refugees Because actually dealing with this requires rethinking things from the ground up, and rethinking those things requires governments to do the very things they've been postponing for decades now. Taking immigrants in as-is will hurt the middle class first and foremost, which has been the class to bear the brunt of the burden for every other crisis. That same middle class includes millions of young adults struggling to find a place in life, get things going, facing a job market which continues to get more brutal regardless of a 'sellers market', and continues to face higher prices and a future where the social benefits they were taxed for won't be available to them. Safe to say, that middle class is slowly getting fed up and done with this. Meanwhile, we continuously have to feel guilty for even considering the 'haves' would have to start sacrificing something for the sake of society, despite the fact not doing so inevitably means the 'have-nots' are sacrificing things anyway. I wish I was kidding when I say I've heard my fair share of 'think of the poor retired landlords retiring by 50 and living off of your rent money', said without sarcasm.
