POPULIST NATIONALISM: THE GOOD AND THE BAD NEWS
Yesterday we reported on the electoral development in Portugal in which the Populist Nationalist party, Chega showed a remarkable rise (link). If they will ever come to power, is the question. The political cartels of established parties are not going to role over, crying 'by all means and with our blessing'. That's not how power constructs work. They consolidate and consolidate until power is in the hands of the few, until the people have had enough and throw them out. Present cohort seems to show remarkable resillience when it comes to hanging on to power. In Ireland, where amidst an onslaught of wokie globalist attacks, the democratic tool of the referendum managed to survive, the people were victorious!

The Irish referendum is showing the people are rejecting wokie drivel. So far the good news. That is, if the Irish Government decides to abide by the referendum, which is not a given by any means.
The bad news is coming from the Netherlands, where after months of coalition negotiations one of the partners managed to wrest the premiership from the leader of the largest party, Geert Wilders. Part 1 of Operation Sabotage Wilders accomplished!
Wilders let it be known in an interview that the veto obliged him to sacrifice the premiership for the sake of the country. He loves the people more than his own prestige. We need more politicians like him!

It is not without precedent that the leader of the largest party remains in the Lower House of Parliament. It stresses a very important principle in constitutional law, the adversarial relationship between Government and Parliament.
In the last decade under PM Rutte the two became indistinguishable. Parliament became a rubber stamp to every corrupt plan the Rutte cabinets conjured up. So this is not altogether bad.
Under the procrastinated negotiations the situation has become dire. Only this morning a development came to light, that during the caretaker cabinet physicians may be criminally prosecuted for denying climate change!
So while Wilders remaining in Parliament is not per se bad, the issue makes clear that if the Dutch want a Government for the people, one of the partners is hostile to say the least and ready to blow up the coalition if it goes to a place they don't like.
