Vrijheid en eigen verantwoordelijkheid is als je zetels wint en op basis daarvan subsidie krijgt van de overheid? Duidelijk.

Ik begrijp nu wel waarom er bij Geesteswetenschappen 150 FTE weg moet. ten eerste is het gewoon geld op door de miljoenen die er twee jaar lang aan fopbeveiliging zijn uitgegeven bij Wijnhaven en ten tweede wordt er bij ons ook Arabisch gesproken. En nog veel meer andere enge talen.
BREEK: Een verdwaalde, Arabisch sprekende man leidde tot forse beveiligingsmaatregelen in het Wijnhavengebouw, onthullen WOO-documenten
Hoe de beveiliging op tilt sloeg vanwege één Arabisch sprekende man: ‘Er broeit iets’
Waarom werd het Wijnhavengebouw twee jaar geleden gesloten en is sindsdien de universitaire beveiliging tot op heden flink opgeschroefd? Uit nieuwe WOO-stukken blijkt dat politie en universiteit tota...

In dit stuk komt "populisme" 12 keer voor, "populist" 11 keer. Maar welke definitie van populisme hier gebruikt wordt blift een raadsel...

‘De glimlach van Mamdani toont populisme zonder toxische mannelijkheid.’ Met zijn vriendelijke campagne over betaalbare boodschappen en lage huren, wint Zohran Mamdami vandaag misschien de burgemeestersverkiezing van New York. Waarom is populisme niet langer een vies woord in progressieve kringen?
Het geheim van de New Yorkse Mamdani? Progressief populisme
In progressieve kringen was ‘populist’ lange tijd een vies woord. Maar de politieke energie van de New Yorkse burgemeesterskandidaat Zohran Mamdani en de leider van de Britse Groenen Zack Polanski…

Reading Mazower's "the Greek revolution" my internal reading voice sometimes switches from dispassionate to the narrator voice of Arrested Development, thanks to gems like this.

Scrap the either/or, might turn out that both assumptions are compatible. Disgruntled pvv voters went to even more extreme FvD and it's carbon copy for people who work in accounting (JA21)?
Either Wilders doesn't want want to govern (which is the logical conclusion of his strategy to focus on the hardcore of pvv voters), or he is assuming that potential PVV voters are more radical on migration than other parties assume.

Before jumping to conclusions about the disloyalty of pvdaGL voters or loyalty of VVD voters, perhaps best to wait for the vote migration Sankey diagrams (which, given the number of parties, will probably look like a spaghetti junction)

The car crisis tops today’s EU summit but leaders keep staring at the wrong problem
The issue isn’t the 2035 engine ban - it’s demand falling off a cliff today
With @sandertordoir.bsky.social and @lucasguttenberg.bsky.social, we show why flipping regs won’t help - and what the EU can do instead.

The VVD's intentions are now very clear: they don't seek to govern, but instead shouting from the sidelines. thus in addition to copying the content of the PVV now they also embrace the PVV's "governing" strategy.
Eerst de deur open naar de PVV, nu de deur dicht naar wat Wiegel ooit een ‘Nationaal Kabinet’ noemde. Wat een miserabele kleuters bij de VVD.

Dutch gov recognizes the drawbacks of derisking private investments for public utilities and thus decides to own/finance the investment itself. Unfortunately it's an investment into ☢️that won't have a future and will only generate a return if heavy (polluting) industry consume the electricity, too.

Looking at this exchange, reminded of Daalder's anecdote (supposedly) Dahl telling him: "you know, your country theoretically cannot exist"
It would make government formation more difficult, coalitions less stable and decrease governability. Small parties like SGP and CU play a crucial role in ensuring the governability of this country.
Larger parties make the country difficult to govern with their mutual vetos
