I am also glad to see them win. I don't like to see governments railroad people without any compromise. It was "our way, or the highway". That's not constructive. 'Bout time the "small guy" (compared to the gov) won.

- pipodeclown 4y agoThe 'small guy' are a couple of extremely rich cattle feed producers (in fact in the top 10 richest families in the country) which financed a succesfull propaganda campaign to derail this extremely necessarry piece of legislation. It is a damn shame that american type populist and big money financed misinformation campaigns are coming to the Netherlands as well...
