Poland and Bulgaria will vote it down. Meanwhile, here in NL, the coalition forming negotiations are still going on 20 weeks after the election. That means the old Cabinet is still in situ but they can only do things to which the new Parliament agrees.

A poll from earlier this week shows people who voted for one of the 4 parties involved in the coalition forming have increased defence spending as their #3 priority, Increasing housing stock at #2 and, Tricky will like this, reducing immigration at #1.

Why that subject at #1? The main reason being that we already have a shortage of over 400,000 dwellings. Building new ones is difficult because the heavy equipment used in building produces nitrogen and there's already "too much" nitrogen in the air and soil in most places they want to build. Campsites, bungalow parks, hotels are all being used to house immigrants. Often these places are a source of income for local small town businesses. The immigrants don't have anything like the spending power of holidaymakers. Basically we don't have anywhere to put anymore. That's down to the previous government who shut down many of the asylum seekers centres leaving the main one, large enough for 2000, having more than that number each day. Following a recent court case brought about by do gooders, every day they exceed 2000, costs them a €25000 fine up to a total of €1M. After 8 or 9 fines, somebody realised that the money the centre has, came from the government. The fine goes to the government. The fine is pointless. The government will fill any holes in the budget. Some temporary set ups are closing. They were erected on sites where music festivals are held in the summer. Festival season is upon us so the sites have been cleared...

Great planning - not.
