Bos says no to coalition with Freedom Party

Published on 13 December 2009 - 10:29am
More about:

Speaking at the Labour Party (PvdA) conference in Apeldoorn on Saturday, leader Wouter Bos sharply criticised the Christian Democrats (CDA) and the conservative VVD party for refusing to rule out the possibility of governing in a coalition with the Freedom Party.

Mr Bos said the world of the Freedom Party (PVV), led by the harshly anti-Muslim Geert Wilders, is not the world of the Labour Party. He said everyone counted with the PvdA, but that this was not the case with the VVD.

Mr Bos said the CDA and the VVD are ducking the issue of the PVV's beliefs by insisting that they will not exclude a single democratic party from a possible coalition. He stressed that the PvdA will not sit in a cabinet that includes the PVV.

As if PVV would allow Pvda to sit with them. LMAO! Wouter Bos has went out of his way to copy PVV, and act way worse then pvv to try to win back votes by slamming immigration and pvda took it a step further, introduced very discriminatory integration requirements for even those who are already integrated and speak the language fluently are forced to get a certificate. Pvda has made ememies with also Americans and Canadians. Wouter Bos is too stupid for words to say he wouldn´t even consider working with PVV, as IF HE EVEN HAD A CHANCE WITH HIS POLLS DOWN THE TOILET! Wouter Bos, you lied over and over again and even betrayed those Dutch citizens with a foreign background that voted for pvda, you are never going to come back to power, dream on!
