Labour ready to launch offensive against 'Wilders cabinet'Friday 10 September 2010 The Labour party (PvdA) has accepted it will be in opposition and is planning a major offensive against the expected right-wing government, the Telegraaf reports on Friday, quoting an internal party document. According to the secret plan, entitled 'opposition strategy', Labour is to go all out on countering what it calls the 'Wilders cabinet'. The right-wing Liberals, Christian Democrats and anti-Islam PVV expect to resume their coalition negotiations next week. Tensions 'It will be up to us to expose the tensions within this coalition and cause the cabinet problems,' the Telegraaf quotes the document as saying. The right-wing cabinet will have just 76 of the 150 seats in parliament and a number of CDA MPs are opposed to any alliance with Geert Wilders' PVV. Voters The document, which was discussed by MPs at a secret meeting last week, also outlines how the PvdA will mobilise voters against the right-wing cabinet. 'We will not be in opposition in The Hague alone, but in a close alliance with social movements, environmentalists, the elderly and youth organisations. We will actively look for those alliances.' © DutchNews.nl
I can smell a dirty tricks campaign coming on. People loyal to the VVD and PVV won't swallow any of this rubbish and it may alienate people from the labour party. I hope it backfires By Debbie | September 10, 2010 1:20 PM Here we go again, PVDA green with envy, out to make themselves look more foolish then they already have done so. Wilders is much too professional to pay any attention to the left-wing media hags throwing temper tantrums because they can´t win an honest election! PVV, VVD are the winners, get use to it! By SandraV | September 10, 2010 2:22 PM If the Labour Party succeeds in blocking the sanctimonious crusade by Wilders to give the Nederlands back to her own people, Then that will be the beginning of the end for the civilised, peace-loving people of Holland. Wilders is on a holy crusade to save Nederlands and the whole of Europe from the clutches of the evil Islam. By HeyBigBrother | September 10, 2010 4:13 PM It's about time that politicians started to take the offensive with Wilders. What have they been waiting for? Is everyone going to wait for the equivalent of the Nuremberg Rallies before they wake up? By Quest | September 10, 2010 7:01 PM Wonderful, now besides music movies and fashion, American-style politics will be coming to The Netherlands. Now, instead of trying to help the nation improve and accomplish, the main job of politicians will be to slander, smear, threaten and conflict for the sake of conflicting. By sofaman | September 10, 2010 8:24 PM That is what opposition parties do. And what they are supposed to do. And also have done for decades in the past. So this is basically nothing new. By pepe | September 11, 2010 6:25 PM Labour Party is right. Wilders's cabinet is like a house for rent. With Wilders as a landlord and Rutte and Verhagen as tenants. The rent is paid at the expense of freedoms, rights and prosperity of people. The aim of landlord is evicting the tenants, by making inevitable that their democratic voters can not support their behavior. As a result, abstention will grow in next election and Wilders may have control over almost double seats with same voters. To continue demolition of democracy in Netherlands, to make it like his party looks. Controlling our country, is costing very cheap for Wilders funders. Nobody knows who they are.

Good for PvdA. But Wilders is less of a problem for the average person than VVD, who wants to cut benefits, etc.
