Dutch farmers' party secures landslide victory - The Post (unherd.com)
A significant proportion of the Dutch electorate spat full in the face of the woke Dutch politicians enacting climate change edicts handed down by the lunatic Green fringe in the EU.
A good day.
“With the highest turnout in 30 years, Dutch voters gave an extraordinary signal to their four-party Government on Wednesday: the Farmer Citizen Movement (BoerBurgerBeweging, or BBB) is set to come first in regional elections, which decide the make-up of the Dutch Senate.”
“EU rules, Dutch laws, and court verdicts mean the country must reduce emissions of ammonia, nitrogen oxides and nitrous oxide from farming, transport and building machines. The question is who takes the hit — and whether 30% of productive farms should be shut, forcibly if necessary. The Netherlands, which feeds the world with its intensive farming and livestock-heavy agriculture, is at the sharp end of the international climate debate.”
One can only hope that this is a start to a multi-national, trans global rejection of all that the lunatic, chicken-little melon heads squawking their faux science.
We should allow technology to develop solutions, not crack-pot politicians who think that every problem can be solved with fiat currency and totalitarian controls that achieve nothing but poverty, sickness and behavioural stupidity.
“The strength of green feeling here, both for and against, is a bellwether for the struggle to come in other countries and farming economies. But BBB should not be dismissed as ‘anti-green’; rather farmers are more of a lime green versus the dark green of the eco activists, both of whom claim they want to protect the land.”
A good day.

Sorry Peter, but you couldn’t be more wrong! The farmers will get f*cked BIG time! Scratch beneath the surface and you’ll quickly see that BBB (Beweging Boeren Belang, the party) and Caroline van der Plas (the party leader) are controlled opposition. Basically they FOLLOW the WEF ‘green’ nitrogen narrative, but they just want a ‘slightly delayed’ implementation. It’s sad to see all the usual suspects (Dr. Malone, you, and Canadian journalists from the ‘Canadian Trucker Movement’) jump onto this news and cheerlead this as a ‘victory’ without actually knowing any facts! In case you speak Dutch, this is an excerpt posted by a REAL opposition party, and it’s from the Dutch public i.e. government propaganda (pro WEF!) media and they basically say the same as I just did: BBB will cooperate to achieve the nitrogen targets by 2035: https://twitter.com/fvdemocratie/status/1636702401703956480
Here is a Twitter channel that has been tracking the media exposure (being invited to talks shows etc) political parties have been receiving in the period leading up to the election. As you see, BBB has been getting lots of media attention, while at the bottom (FVD, PVV and BVNL) have been getting ZERO media coverage! Take a wild guess: why do you think BBB, the establishment ‘opposition’ political parties and the government parties got pumped 24/7 in the media while other parties got ZERO coverage? Who do you think poses the biggest danger to the WEF and their puppets in Dutch politics?

Again: NOTHING has changed and NOTHING will change with these results.
