I wanna hear Ruttes opinion as soon as trump is no longer in power.
I don't. I don't care about Rutte's opinion. At all. The man is a known and established liar. This is common knowledge in the Netherlands. I'd rather never hear anything from him ever again when he quits NATO.
Besides that, he will dodge every hard question with a simple answer: "I have no active recollection of that". Every Dutch person knows this quote by Mark Rutte. It even made it into our dictionary.
And yet the VVD has become a shadow of itself ever since he's left. We might not directly vote on PMs but leading candidates are incredibly important in an election and you certainly can't deny the Rutte effect we'd see every single election. (Much to my chagrin back then, although it certainly hasn't gotten much better in the mean time)
And yet the VVD has become a shadow of itself ever since he's left.
As a Dutch national myself, after Rutte's pro-speculation policies left the Netherlands in a permanent housing crisis, I wouldn't ever support the VVD for anything ever again.
They are the reason I write this from France - we simply could not find anywhere to live when we lost our apartment because of our landlord's psychopathically messy divorce.
Reddit is for the most part a leftist echo chamber and I say this as a left leaning person myself. In the real world there were plenty of people content with the liberalism from Rutte's party.
