Netherlands prepares for right-wing government after Wilders strikes deal

but let's go to the Netherlands now where 6 months after gear vilder party was elected in a land slide he's finally managed to strike a deal with three other parties to Cobble together a coalition of sorts now this took some doing because Garett VES is very well known as being what they call far right and when he won the election a quarter of the national vote which is no mean feet when to give you an idea right now sitting in the house of reps in the Netherlands is 15 parties they don't have a major two-party system like the us or Australia over there it's like a patchwork quilt baby so he had his work cut out despite getting a quarter of the national vote he had his work cut out to make friends with these parties a lot of which said despite him romping it in vote wise at the election 6 months ago a lot of them said we will never do business with this party we will not form government with him well he's managed to find three friends and they are cobbling It Together part of that deal was though him agreeing that he would not be prime minister which is a big big bummer they still haven't decided who will be prime minister so I don't know what the other three are going to do what flip a coin but this this I just can't believe he's actually managed to do it and that much is is is incredibly impressive like early on in the game this guy uh came out very strongly on immigration he said we're going to make Netherlands for the Dutch again he promised to ban the Quran mosques Islamic schools he was going hard now part of this deal with the major three parties which is so stupid right because obviously that is what the Netherland once that's why he got a quarter of the national vote and yet in order to Cobble together a government they made him soften and dampen down and in some regards get rid of some of the policies that he would if he was governing in his own right he would have implemented how dumb is that like when you're the leaders of the other three parties who have agreed to Cozy up to him in order to be in government yourselves you're like well just drop several of the things that were your vote winners that you took to the election yeah that's the art of politics though isn't it it's compromis he's had to back off all the the heavh handed Islamic stuff but when it comes to immigration strict measures uh regarding Asylum Seekers they're scrapping family reunification for refugees they're reducing the number of international students sounds like a Peter Dutton speech and um and they're deporting people who don't have a valid Visa if necessary by force um and on top of that and you'll be happy about this Liz the citizen the the farmers citizens movement has uh become part of the Coalition and we all have seen the massive uh demonstrations in the the Netherlands because of what's being done to farmers in the name of climate change so you'd expect the Netherlands to take a slightly different view on climate than has been the case and that should make a big difference oh yes all in all this is a massive win for the Netherlands and this will mean because this is after 14 years of the same main party being in power this was a shock to end all shock elections for the ruling Elites in the Netherlands and it's just wonderful to see especially right off the back of Argent Ina we've got harier Malay there Trump is going to be back in the white house later this year I'm just speaking that out but these leaders are increasingly coming to prominence as their their populations are just like we are so sick of what we're seeing happen in our country and G wers has been at it for the better part of two decades now um and he's finally having his day in the Sun and and we've often had this discussion about you know the fact you you look at Europe and you've had a a wave of of rightwing leaders get elected over there and then of course you had Trump in the US and jav in Argentina Etc and and people say why has that not happened in Australia and my answer has always been the day will come we just haven't met it yet there will come a point where people will realize what is going on and they will start to Rebel we just haven't got to that point yet so don't be disheartened be heartened by the fact it is happening in other parts parts of the world because the Reckoning has to come at some point now dutton's about the closest we've got to it at the moment and we'll talk later about his budget reply speech which wasn't really a budget reply speech it was an election pitch um but he was hitting good points the right points tonight and it takes a leader like that to step up and drive that message home as long as it takes it can take decades but as long as it takes you've got to keep driving that message home as G Builders has ultimately to his success for a second I thought you were going to say that Pauline Hansen will eventually be prime minister of this country it was bit hard to do from the Senate that's where you were going not how it works
