Samsom is leaning too much to the left. He doesn't want a purple cabinet. My first choice goes to Samsom, he seems like a man capable of the job. And are talking about Labour's Brownites or Blairites?
Indeed, since the Dutch republic had quite a high degree of freedom of press compared to other European countries at that time.
You fail to mention that it was only because a lot of money was made out of smuggling the books into France, Spain and England. :-P
Another fact about the Republic, they were one of the first countries who stopped burning witches. The last one was burned in 1608, at least early 17th century.
They continued with it for a long time. The last witch that was burned (that we know of) was in Scotland in 1722.
Scotland is awesome, though. Been there twice (same place, we had to prematurely break off our first vacation and went back the year after), both were amazing trips.
Okay let's dig this baby up. I heard that a radio DJ on a dutch radio called my government's actions faschistic,and my PM a tyrant. I am now really offended becouse 1.faschists do actions that is good for the nation's well being,but our governement on the other hand does actions that is benefical for themselfs. 2.They didn't say anything that our government does right. Like making sure our country has the highest VAT,we are in a war of independance from the IMF &EU but we can't continue it becouse we need someone to finance it. We named our plan of helping out buisnesses which is just taking the voters money and putting it in the pockets of the friends of the government for the building of Castles after one of our famous aristocrats who sold almost all of his castles for building of to muild univeristies and bridges for the people.It could be ironic but this is how we like it. To make an example which is more recent one of our PM said to the people that he asks for them to pay about 1 dollar to help the country.Our incumbent government taxes the big corporations and multies that make almost all products,services etc. more expensive but,that's how we like it. But as you will see we don't need you.Becouse we can steal from ourselves.We have banks can opress the people with the same policies as the austrian or german banks.This bank is on stable grounds becouse it sells out loans for any people of other country that surrounds us. And from the profits we make from that go to our Football championships which have no visitors so we can sell the games without creating any profit. The EU says that we should listen to your examples of market economy and democracy hand in hand.We learned and we shut down the only opposition radio becouse they couldn't pay the bills. We don't need your oppression.Becouse the hungarian people don't want to have your opression while the hungarian gov. provides opression in it's own cultural background,language. Yours truly ddbb089 (Sorry for the rambling but I would like to see info from dutch sources of this.)
