Net gedaan met eerste klas, en vind live stream naar TK debat, maar is momenteel geschost. Wel fijn om te zien dat COVID-19 geen groot probleem is in het parlement. Het aantal TK-leden dat rondloopt zonder masker. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️
Wel fijn dat Hoekstra Rutte een beetje uit de wind zet door zich op D66 te richten.
Complimenten voor Azarkan, die tot de kern komt, en D66 onder druk zet om Rutte te dumpen.
Ploumen heeft in een regering gezeten met Rutte. Lijkt mij sterk dat ze echt verbaast en "ontgoocheld" is.
"We staan voor aap". In welke eeuw leeft Wopke? 🐵
Wopke die over over "onze Pieter Omtzigt" spreekt.
Ik heb geen idee wat Hoekstra tracht te realiseren. D66 ondermijnen? In goed blaadje bij VDD/Rutte komen?
Hoekstra spreekt consequent over "het process" en nooit over Rutte.
Marijnissen zou zo veel beter en effectiever zijn zonder dat irritante "we told you so" frame.
Verdomme, moet nu weer college geven. Mis ik Rutte's Roast. 😉

Quick reflection on yesterday's #omtzigtgate debate in Dutch parliament in which #Rutte survived his own arrogance... for now. 🇳🇱 #Thread
1. First and foremost, this was an own goal, a direct consequence of the arrogance of power and the disdain of parliament by (former) ministers.
2. In that way, this "crisis" was a perfect illustration of what is fundamentally wrong with the functioning of Dutch democracy today.

Ik zal wel weer te negatief en achterdochtig zijn, maar Kajsa Ollongren staat ier toch gewoon even hard te liegen als Mark Rutte eerder deed?

Of verscheen Omtzigt's naam via "divine intervention" op haar blaadje?
Ik heb een verklaring: ze heeft, in alle haast, per ongeluk, aantekeningen van een andere bijeenkomst meegenomen! Waarschijnlijk een voorvergadering van een andere groep, die wat slordig was en papiertjes lieten slingeren. Volkomen geloofwaardig! 😳
Gooi een ambtenaar onder de bus! Zeg dat haar/zijn fout was... die heeft zomaar wat opgeschreven. 🤷‍♂️

"Populist Radical Right Parties in Europe" (2007) is by far my most awarded and influential book, and I don't think that will ever change. Here is back story to the book.

cambridge.org/core/books/pop…
1. I decided to write a more general book on radical right parties in Europe shortly after my PhD thesis was published by @ManchesterUP

That book is now Open Access 👇

2. I got sidetracked by working on other issues (civil society, democratization, Euroscepticism) with my friend Petr Kopecky. ImageImageImage

Remarkable first results of #exitpoll of #TK2021 -- although there is +/= 2 seat margin! #Thread
1. Despite drop in polls since fall of government, #VVD still probably wins. #Rutte is untouchable.
2. Amazing result for #D66 ! Traditionally, D66 loses big after government participation, but now they not just win, they win BIG. This can only be seen as "Kaag Effect", as party centered whole campaign on party leader and need for female leadership.

I am excited and honored to give this lecture in support of the faculty and students at #bogaziciuniversity who are fighting the authoritarian encroachment of the Erdogan regime. 🇹🇷 ✊
Obviously, people who use this tweet to defend Erdogan's authoritarian regime will be blocked.

The times are a changin'

For years Austrian PM Kurz has been one of Orbán's most important mainstream defenders in Europe, but now his party has called for "suspension" of Fidesz in EPP.

Incidentally, I thought Fidesz was already suspended in EPP. 🤔
1. There are several reasons for this shift away from too controversial far right among (several) mainstream right-wing parties, most are opportunistic/strategic.
2. The "immigration issues" is no longer very salient and does not leave too much space for gains anymore, which means far right is less attractive option.
