Less than five years ago I was still alone in an attic Wilders of the House. Now he is the leader of the third party in the Netherlands and is a partner of the government-tolerated Rutte.
Frits Bolkestein said you recently a short comet. Previously you worked a lot together. What is wrong?
"I think I left seven years ago with the VVD. Since then, it only get better with the PVV. At the same time in that period he only became more acidic."
Do the right thing as Bolkestein something about you call?
"No, he did more bad things about me and the PVV said. I do not like, but still have great respect for him. Politically, it was a man with guts. He has the theme of multiculturalism put on the agenda. "
Your voters he calls social losers.
"That's bad. But he says they are all unemployed and their children are doing drugs, going beyond all scuppers."
"We have a broad electorate. People who are dissatisfied with how it goes. What you really should not do is insult the voters. That is not the Bolkestein I knew."
"Apparently there is a lot of frustration. Let's face it, we have 55 seats together. Ultimately, it is debatable whether such a policy as it would have been possible without the PVV. My answer to that question is no."
"Bolkestein still sometimes forget that. That, and I will say it neatly under his level."
The VVD, the PVV needed, says h. But at many points from the government and the coalition agreement tolerated also needs Europe. This makes it difficult to quickly policy.
"That's not true. If more points than not. Minimum Penalties can just enter that."
Is not it annoying that the coalition depends on how many points in Europe.
"Yes, but I'm convinced that it is going to work. Otherwise we have not put our signature."
But like the other countries which have far-reaching measures in the field of immigration as well?
"If it is not because they themselves want it, then it is because they fear that they themselves receive a PVV. Look at Germany. Whether to Cameron in the UK. It is also there awake. People pick it anymore."
"The times when the CDU and the Christian Democrats could ignore the problems are over. It is no passing comet or something like that. The genie is out of the bottle and will never go back. Never again."
"We have our own little revolution."
What happened in Germany and England will also be created as a sort of fear of the Freedom Party?
"Merkel has lost half of its electorate in Hamburg. And that's one of the richest cities in Germany. Stadtkewitz I hope his freedom party in the next election is going to do."
"And look what the book" Germany bought himself 'by Thilo Sarrazin SPD'er there has loosened. It is not a charismatic man, but otherwise he votes 20 percent of the firm. "
"And if someone gets up in England that a party establishes that between the BNP and the racist conservatives stand, so that also gets 20 percent of the vote."
"I would love in all the countries wishing to establish a party. The people want it. A kind of anti-Islamic wave that, sorry if I sound fanatical to some, is unstoppable. Is unstoppable."
By depillarization is already a lot has changed. What does the landscape here and in Europe in a few years?
"I believe we are in an intermediate stage. They do not listen to people. Especially when it comes to multicultural society, but also other things. Look at the referendum on the European constitution. Thirds of the House said 'yes', thirds of the Dutch said "no."
"That would happen more often if we hold more referendums. Many politicians are afraid of. It affects their existence, their power, job, grant, world, illusion. Those days are over."
"It is also about political culture. Politicians think the content can change with small steps. The times when people follow politics is over. Politicians wake up and see that they scare people to follow. That does not always in their line. "
You mentioned a transitional phase. Where to go then?
"It will be less to go left or right, but rather what make them happen? People are more likely to change party, problems will be addressed quickly in a way that will lead to a solution."
"It means the end of parties on the left or lead to a regrouping."
What is crucial for this government that the coalition gets a majority in the Senate?
"This is very important, although we do not immediately calling a new election if there is no majority in it. Therefore I do not sit all summer negotiating. It would be nice if we Cohen and his political gang of lasting power to keep."
