It would seem that way but per person, I pay 5 euro for the European parlement, 5 for our king, 3 euro for weapon research in genocidal Israël and 20 euro for some pointless meat grinder in Ukraine.
Our king (Netherlands) has 65% approval rating. In political leadership only Modi scores higher. King of Denmark has 94%. Norway 80-90%
Are you suggesting we get rid of kings day and work in stead? It would be worse than canceling easter. Imagine in 2025 we celebrate resurrection? Pretty funny if you think about it.
- actionfromafar 1y agoWould you rather spend on a pointless meat grinder closer to your border?
- bregma 1y agoAt least that would have greater perceived value.
- crote 1y ago> Are you suggesting we get rid of kings day and work in stead? Why not just replace it with Labour Day? Or some kind of Independence Day - I bet we can come up with a reasonable start-of-country date. The concept of a decorative politically-neutral head-of-state is solid, but we could just as well replace the king with an elected figure, like Germany has. Meanwhile, it would get rid of a filthy rich family constantly using their "god-given" connections to break the law and further enrich themselves.
