Comment on Can someone give me some primers/resources on understanding politics in the Netherlands?

NL might be paradise compared to the US, but I have never been to the US so not sure about that. We don’t have Trump here though so we do have that going for us.

Dutch politics is a joke, politicians prefer throwing mud at eachother over actually solving problems, of which we have many, and increasingly so over the last decade. Notably drug related crime (which is probably what our southern neighbours are referring to), poor care for the elderly, housing shortage, inflation, shortage of staff, etc, etc.

Our government, like many other european countries, is still very pro Israel, even though the vast majority of the people that live here are are not, especially in the current timeline. Not sure what the exact reason behind this is.

So, not exactly paradise I’d say.
