Lust for power

Wilders is on his way! But not on my vote. Frothing at the mouth from sheer patriottism I registered as a foreign voter. It's probably going to be a mess and I'm eager to make my voice count. And as Balkenende miraculously managed to keep the government going all the time I was in Norway, this will be my first vote from abroad.


And my democratic power does not only reach from the UK to the Netherlands, but also the other way around; there's municipal elections coming soon, and I received my voting card! UK politics, here I come! I will have to find my way through the quite possibly sometimes slightly biased information that's available on the various political parties here, but then I can have genuine influence in this town. Bring it on!

Mooi! Kijken of we nationaal net zo'n coalitie bij elkaar kunnen stemmen als ze nu in Amsterdam hebben... :)
