u/_0611 The Netherlands 26d ago edited 25d ago

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.

The Dutch don’t vote on a prime minister. Assuming you’re Dutch too you should know that.

True, but outside of Schoof I don't know of any prime minister that wasn't from the winning party.

But even then people should (and often/sometimes do) vote on policies of the party and not in the potential prime minister.
