The PVV was the largest in the elections and is again at the top of the polls. For many voters, that is a clear message: there is broad support and wish for a legal policy. Politics is funded with tax money, and therefore applies: the voter is the customer. Yet a part of the House of Representatives seems to systematically resist this message. Especially parties on the left side of the spectrum, such as GL/PvdA, D66, NSC, Party for the Animals and DENK, regularly block proposals from the largest party and hide it.

In addition, it is crazy that the parties exclude each other, that should be forbidden. That raises the question: if MPs are paid by the taxpayer, why are the same taxpayers not allowed to determine who only opposes and remove them from the scene? What if there was a system where opposing groups could get a kind of ‘red card’? If ‘punishment’ is not part of the House of Representatives for a moment. This would give the largest party a second chance to actually rule, without constantly being stopped.
