Do you know what is funny. There were many voting tests you could do here. And I have done one. And I came out with PvdA and do you know what was second Vlaams Belang. Those are total opposites of parties and it was one and two.
But one thing is very very clear to me, if you want to stop the right then you have to start talking seriously about immigration. In almost all the countries where right wins or is big immigration is one of the biggest topics, even Brexit was started by this. If you solve the immigration problem then the fire out of the right parties would go out. But the traditional parties and the media don't want to acknowledge this. But it lives under the people. Ones you solve this, right will go back in the margin.
But still, is immigration the real problem? Or is it the government not being able to provide decent care for it's citizens?
Europe should protect their borders, it's a shame that many people in Dutch and Belgian immigration centers are from 'safe countries' such as Albania, Morocco and sub-Saharan countries. It puts the whole immigration system to a halt.
But most of all, it's up to the government to provide good care for their citizens.
- Having enough houses on the lower segment of the market (Currently, people get angry because immigrants get free housing or receive a home before local people do.) solves a lot of problems.
- Improving the efficiency of the integration and immigration services
If you want to go further, solving the 'immigration problem' becomes really difficult. The problem is subjective. For some people, nobody should enter their country. Some people think only refugees should temporarily come into the country. And some people want to stimulate economic immigration because of a population becoming older and older.
So yes, immigration is a big topic, but I don't believe voting for the extreme right solves any issues. I do believe it has made political parties in Europe more aware of the negative effects of immigration. Both from the EU and outside the EU.
