The Mentality We Are Dealing With Here

The BBC has comments on the Dutch vote:

I live in Amsterdam and have done [for] the past four years. My girlfriend, a Dutch lawyer, was in the dressing room of a department store the other day when she overheard two shop assistants. One saying to the other “Which way are you voting?”. “I’m going to vote No” says the second. First: “Why?” Second:” Because everyone wants us to vote Yes”. This is the mentality we are dealing with here. Simon Goetzel, Amsterdam

The voters, like these silly shop assistants, have proved themselves unworthy of the high ideals of the politicians. They’ve forfeited the confidence of all right-thinking people, and should be dissolved.

    I wouldn’t put it past the Dutch government. For a taste of the mentality, have a look at this scare-mongering propaganda. It was commissioned by coalition partner VVD (Dutch pendant of the Conservative Party). Although it was pulled before being broadcast, it made its way onto a current affairs programme. The message is that a No-vote will give us concentration camps and Srebrenica. I could go on and on.

    As Dutch blogger Zacht Ei [http://www.zachtei.nl/] sardonically commented yesterday; “Off to bed now! Because tomorrow morning, we’ll be rounding up Jews and building new gas chambers!”
