Paedophile party disbands

Monday 15 March 2010

The pro-paedophile political party PNVD has disbanded after failing to find enough supporters to enable it to take part in the June general election, news agency Novum reports.

Despite a change in the election rules, the party has been unable to attract the 570 signatures necessary to appear on the ballot papers.

The changes mean parties only need supply the initials, surname and place of residence of supporters, rather than their full name and address.

The PNVD said in January it hoped this would enable it to gather enough signatures to stand for parliament because its supporters need not fear being found out.

I'm sorry this country is getting crazier. putting children out on the streets because they have been refused asylum AND there is a pro-paedophile party!! is it just me? am i too old fashioned? is this country getting a bit weirder? and then some dutch want to blame the fact that some people wear headscarves for the country's problems. i would be very ashamed to be dutch right now!

They must be very lazy pro-paedophiles ... just read the recent news ... go pray for support ... in a Catholic church.

They obviously failed to solicit members from the Catholic clergy...

I'm sorry....but is it me or is it a sick country who would even consider allowing a political party to exist who is in support of something so illegal, so morally disgusting that they actually thought they would win votes? The government should all be locked up for even ALLOWING a law on their statute books to exist to allow such a morally vacuumed society to exist by allowing such monsters on the ballot....or seeking to be on the ballot!!

Don't we just love to equal gays with paedophiles? Makes the world so much easier to comprehend...

Jennifer:
Children being turned out onto the streets? The presence of a pedophile party?
You see two problems, I see one solution!
You can still be proud to be Dutch. Mostly.

It's not just in Holland that life is getting weirder. In the old days the Catholic hierarchy would have forgiven, then burned them, on our behalf.

Sorry B i am slightly confused by your post? what is your solution to these 2 separate problems?

By Jennifer | March 16, 2010 9:47 AM


You guys are missing the point, this is bad news - the whole point of allowing them to set up their own political party was so that the crazy ones would be in the public eye.

I agree with steve.Isn't it quite obvious what it advantaqges it proviedes to let such a party exist?You can keep an eye on those people anad they coouldn't be dangerous by changing anything anyway because they're really not hugely popular.You guys should stop asking rethorically how stupid the netherlands are and start thinking.
