Poll shows dissent on Afghanistan mission

Thursday 06 January 2011

The new training mission to Afghanistan advocated by the government has the support of just 34% of the Dutch population. Those against form a small majority of the 1,600 people questioned: 58%.

The poll conducted by Maurice de Hond shows the majority of Christian Democrat voters are for the mission, while Labour, Socialist Party, GroenLinks, Liberal VVD and PVV voters are against.

Christian Democrat supporting war. Now that's certainly very humane. Is there not enough insanity already? How more obvious does that need to get?
