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.

Thanks PH. Well done the Dutch farmers. Let this pitchfork revolution grow into a worldwide genuine, real green, proper grass roots revolution.
Great 😑
