   I am not a fan of Rutte at all. But could it maybe be possible to pronounce his name correctly? It is not hard for English speakers. Just put the name into google and ask how it should be pronounced in Dutch. Not really an inconvenience, even.

   Ik denk dat Nederland Omtzigt nodig heeft (eigenlijk als premier). Maar, we moeten ook op klimaat letten. De Eerste Kamer is vooral BBB, dus dat ziet er niet goed uit.

   Dutch government is really very stupid to believe what Zelensky mentioned that he can beat Russia in the war. Right now, they are stuck with the growing number of Ukrainian refugees in their homeland. It impacted the national economy strength. They failed to understand the economic situations so they followed what Biden, EU or NATO wanted to do. They are less focusing on national issues than global issues. I suspect that Rutte may be working for globalism secretly because he is trying to sell out his own country for the interests of globalists. The reason is that he doesn't have any common sense to the reality of life. Moreover, he doesn't have a heart of patriotism. Is it possible that he is a puppet or a traitor?

   For some extra insight:
   The Netherlands is on a crossroads. We've had an exceptionally high baby boom that provided NL with a lot of labour for the past 40/45 years. Also the feminist working projects in the late 80s and 90s gave our country even more progress in that period. Now the big group is in retirement and that's destabilizing the country a bit. Also, last decades we had mostly central right governments (exept for Balkenende IV, which was central, and Rutte II, although the PvdA/Labour party was quite underpreforming) that were mostly conservative and budget cutting overall. A lot of the government is outdated at the moment and in lots of issues, there is much to do. The Dutch have problems with too much nitrogen compounds all over the line, indeed immigration that is sensitive topic, but also social welfare issues, strutucal budget cuts on all public services, ageing workforce, overexpensive housing with high mortgage debts overall and a great shortage of housing itself, space issues to build them, immigration gulfs of the 60s and 70s that made some cities in NL more immigrant based than the original native population, climate change is of course an issue for the existing of the country as a whole of rising sea levels, as well we are the most polluting energy producing country of the whole EU, we have a largely failing education system, too many high educated people while not enough low educated, natural gas winning in Groningen needs to be stopped (a big money maker for NL), while housing is collapsing there because of the same natural gas winning, and an overall feeling that everything is getting worse in the country. We have the lowest working hours in the world, although one of the highest outputs as well, but it's getting tenuous. All with all: there have to be made major changes and most governments just made budget cuts and low paid jobs to make more work, while the workforce is shrinking. It's a game of kicking the can until someone does the unpopular fixing of it all. Also populism is on the rise since the 90s, making Dutch politics more unstable than it was for a long time. We were a central to right leaning country for a long time, that didn't change much. Rutte reflects that state of conservatism, although he is one of the more liberal of the party, to make the doing nothing and giving big companies more profits more acceptable.

   In my opinion we have to take a step back in welfare to make our country run better again, but of course, this idea is quite unpopular. Change is scary for our conservative nation as well. There are a lot of problems that need solving and no one really has the courage to do so, afraid for political assassination. That's the negative part of the state of the Netherlands. We have to work more with less people to get running better. But we have to do it and not kicking the can more and more. But that's my humble opinion.

    There's a lot more factors that have probably been left out due to the video length limit that make speculations on the next election even more interesting. First off, Mark Rutte was the sole face of the VVD with no real significant politician within the party to follow him up. The other centre-party CDA alienated a lot of their voters by picking liberal-minded Wobke Hoekstra as their party leader while the more conservative, pragmatic Pieter Omzigt definetly was more popular, the latter leaving the party afterwards (which was kinda orchestrated by the ministry). Also Frans Timmermans making a return to the Dutch left (which I think was published after this video) might tilt the scales in their favour. All in all, elections will definetly be shaky this year.

    Im getting a lil sick of the negativity around the treatment of refugees in the Netherlands. Id argue theyre treated in one of the best ways in the world. Even if thats not good enough, please fix all other countries first. This is part of the problem. A fair and humane refugee system attracts more unwanted refugees.

    In the Netherlands we have this issue where the left will actually make policy that will increase cost of living, hurting the lower income people more.

    And we have a Green Party which I find almost as bad as the FreedomParty almost. The Greens are actively trying to destroy Dutch agriculture and industry, which if you know anything about what is going on the world today, is a insane choice.

    The Netherlands could be wiped out from the earth today, and it won't effect climate change. its too small. yet the Greens wont be happy until we produce nothing, and import everything (because somehow if its not made in NL it wont effect the environment), Either that or we subject ourselves to austerity, because ?

    There is a huge housing crisis in the Netherlands, and lots of rights are tied to having an apartment or house, its a borked system. Until the housing crisis is sorted there should be stringent limits on asylum seekers and 3rd party migrants (aka non EU migrants)
