Personally I think ideally politics should be boring and calm
Let’s not pretend that CDA is what’s needed though. Of course they are far preferable to PVV (or VVD under Yesilgoz) but they are still bigoted (their leader recently defended the right of Reformist schools to be homophobic) and not particularly supportive of European solutions to problems (hiding under the guise of „frugal“).
I hope D66 and GL/PvdA end up bigger than them in the potential coalition.
Politics can only be boring if it’s actually good at fixing the problems we have. I don’t want boring politics if our politicians can’t deliver.
Is there absolutely no news in the world that they had to release an article with such a headline?
This sounds all nice, but didn’t try Keir Starmer something similar? He is boring, he is calm, he might even be decent enough, but for what price? I don’t need to list all the big things where Labour failed under him again.
The more important point is this:
All these leaders don’t fix the underlying problems only – and even that’s a big If – the symptoms. Populism and far-right bullshit all over the world show us that something is fundamentally broken. Starmer lurched to the right (Labour as the „party of business“) to be „normal“ again. Yet the issues we have demand systemic changes that don’t come. Everyone who promises to keep the rocking ship steady again doesn’t see that we’re headed for the rocks for some time now.
There was a lot to be said for boring, pragmatic Dutch politics!
He’s pro chat control, so no thank you
They could also try fixing the housing crisis, but that might reduce the property prices of middle-class homeowners, so it will never happen.
this is the best way to not get elected.
Politics should make you passionate. It affects the lives of everyone and is really important. Everyone should care deeply about it.
Making it boring is irresponsible
The CDA is so much better than the populist GL-PVDA and PVV.
Seems to be a late uptick for D66 also in recent weeks, so they, GroenLinks, CDA and VVD all appear to be in close contention for second place.
This been my vibe. Give me good, old beaurocracy and people who are so boring they could never make a viral tik tok. Give me people in power who would make me snooz.
This is probably a bit outdated since Bontebal is no longer the golden boy. He’s lead in the polls decreased and he did an oopsie regarding LGTBQ rights.
