D66 rules out coalition with Wilders' PVV
Tuesday 07 April 2009
D66 leader Alexander Pechtold rules out any involvement in a coalition government involving his party and Geert Wilders’ anti-immigration PVV after the next elections, the Telegraaf reports on Tuesday.
Wilders is a ‘xenophobe and an extremist’ who is ‘causing a rift in society’, the leader of the Liberal democratic party told the paper. 'It would be a disaster for the country if that is where people think the solution lies’, he said.
Pechtold said he felt ‘called upon to say where I stand’ in a reaction to a comment made by right-wing Liberal party leader Mark Rutte last Sunday. The VVD leader said he did not rule out a cabinet in which both VVD and PVV would take part. The CDA has also not ruled out a coalition with Wilders.
Presently, the polls are predicting 17 seats for D66 and 32 for the PVV.

Friday: Cold and sunny everywhere. Heavy frost at night. Similar Saturday but thaw possible Sunday
If Wilders please read the Talmud and the horror that is being done to the Palestinians, in its name.
Ban the Talmud with the Quran; it is a hate literature that makes the Koran look like a children tale. Ban all religions and I will vote for Wilders too.
