Coalition talks with ultra-right Freedom Party in Netherlands fail
2010-09-05
(Itar-Tass) -- Talks on forming the Netherlands' new government with the participation of the Geert Wilders-led ultra-right Freedom Party ended in failure on Friday. In the evening Wilders announced withdrawal from the negotiating process.

The Dutch parties that entered parliament in the June 9 elections have been locked in there months of talks, trying to agree on forming a government coalition. The Queen-appointed intermediaries have reshuffled practically all possible combinations. For the past few weeks there have been consultations on creating a three-party coalition of the liberal People's Party for Freedom and Democracy, centrist Christian Democratic Appeal and ultra-right Freedom Party.

Whereas late last week reports arrived that the parties had managed to agree on the basic positions and the announcement they had agreed to form a government was a matter of days, just one week later the Dutch Government's information service said that the talks on forming a coalition suffered failure.

#4  In England it's the Far-Right, in Netherlands it's the Ultra-Right, and pretty much the same pattern everywhere. There is no "The Right" or "Right Wing", it's always "Extreme Right". Get it? And then there's the people who write all this drivel.

#2  Otherwise they are mainstream.

From the little I've read, it sounds like Mr. Wilders is standard Euro-socialist inasmuch as he has any economic principles at all, except for being against the creeping Caliphate and strongly pro-Israel.

#1  Ultra right? They only promote harsh policies on security issues. Otherwise they are mainstream.
