Can you think of a connection between these two FT headlines?

Latest tally sees D66 & PVV neck-and-neck. A centrist coalition has a big majority but faces hurdles. 4-party rightwing coalition is now just short of a majority. Talks will take time, but caretaker govt now only has 26 seats (out of 150), and parliamentary dynamics change immediately. (NOS image)

Dutch exit poll: centrist-liberal D66 leading.

Ik heb dat van Israël tussen aanhalingstekens net even gefactcheckt en blijkt te kloppen. 52 keer!

One of the last polls ahead of tomorrow’s Dutch elections has the far-right PVV (Wilders), centre-left GroenLinks-PvdA (Timmermans), and centrist-liberal D66 (Jetten) on 23 seats each. Nailbiter finish to a campaign marked by the algorithm-fuelled spread of falsehoods and hate speech on social media

I’d like to think that the sentence that follows this DP World ad in today’s @politico.eu Brussels Playbook was placed there deliberately, @swheatonjourno.bsky.social 😉

Clear-eyed and hard-hitting piece. An urgent call to action to rescue our democracies from the wrecking ball alliance of tech broligarchs and populist leaders.

“How tech lords and populists changed the rules of power”, by Giuliano de Empoli in the FT.
