At the rate the "Tea Party Express" keeps moving, it was only a matter of time before it made its way over the Atlantic and kept on going around the world, but now that the Dutch Tea Party is here, who knows what might happen. ;)
Unlike their American counterparts, the Dutch Tea Party people - of course being Dutch and all- call themselves liberals, even though somewhat conservative/right-wing in nature.
Ever Since I can remember I've always rooted for VVD, but not this year tough. This time I'm rooting for PvdA in the upcoming Dutch parliamentary elections (June 9th), purely because I believe in Job Cohen and Ahmed Marcouch. These are people with a solid track record on taking care of business with a NO-nonsense approach and getting things done. Holland needs more problem solvers like these in charge of government. So goodbye Mr Balkenende and company, it's time for you to go now.
Job Cohen has done a tremendous jobs as Mayor of Amsterdam for the last 9
years and he is now fulfilling his current role as the party president for PvdA
and "lijstrekker" in the upcoming parliamentary elections.
"Lijsttrekker" is the Dutch term for a "prime candidate" to lead a party in
the election process. After the election this person usually gets a leadership
position, either as a Minister or a Prime-Minister.
I'm sorry to say this, but I think that as it is right now, the Dutch Tea Party is a complete waste of time.
