| | Netherlands: Elections - Abrupt awakening |
| | Under the attacks of the right wing governments in the 1980s, the support for the Labour Party started to grow in the run up to the elections in 1986. | | | This prospect had no appeal to the working class, and support for the Labour Party started to dwindle. | | | Many of its voters, however, are likely to go back to the Liberal Party at the next elections. |

| | Labour are mad not to trust the voters. | | | So the party membership have chosen to tread water for the next election with a 'caretaker' and old boring leader. | | | It creates a strong financial incentive for political parties and candidates to engage with voters, in the hope that they could persuade as many voters as possible to allocate their £3 voucher to them. |

| | [Marxism] The immigrant treatment in Holland |
| | In the Netherlands, two-thirds of all schools are denominational schools, and there are no limitations at all on the freedom of parents to choose to which school they want to send their child. | | | A crackdown on immigration in the Netherlands began after 2002 elections, in which Pim Fortuyn's anti-immigrants party won more than 10 percent of the national vote. | | | The number of asylum seekers fell to around 20,000 in 2003, down from 44,000 in 2000, mainly due to tougher immigration laws. |

| | CNN.com - Labour comeback in Dutch poll - Jan. 22, 2003 |
| | Established parties in the Netherlands -- renowned for its liberal attitude on prostitution, soft drugs, euthanasia and gay marriage -- have absorbed much of Fortuyn's taboo-busting agenda on crime and immigration to win back voters they lost last year. | | | Around 12 million people were eligible to vote in Wednesday's election, with Fortuyn's party appealing to voters to keep their murdered leader's ideas alive by voting for them a second time. | | | Fortuyn's murder nine days before last May's election provoked an unprecedented reaction in the traditionally stable Netherlands, with his inexperienced party sweeping to second place on its election debut. |

| | The Democrat 66 Party lost one seat in comparison with the 15th May; in addition to this Thom de Graf, its leader, resigned from his function on the announcement of the results. | | | The new Social Democrat leader won his difficult wager by righting the situation just eight months after Labour suffered its terrible defeat and just a few weeks after his appointment as leader of the party. | | | Since the CDA and the VVD are four seats short of the majority necessary to govern (together they have 72 seats out of 150), Jan Peter Balkenende will therefore have to resign himself to joining up with other movements. |
