Comment on The Fake Xinjiang Allegations Caused me to Lose my Job & Friends
commiewolf@lemmygrad.ml 2 years agoA lot of Dutch people are genuinely under the impression that Groenlinks is the farthest left party in the country. That's how little recognition real leftist movements get around here. They think a lukewarm milktoast green party is somehow the leftist core of their political spectrum.

Groenlinks became an elitist party for progressive upper- and middleclass people. If that's your voter base you tend to lose the 'links' in the name a bit I think.

Oh, you mean how they often vote in favour of hawkish motions? Or that it's often hit-or-miss when it comes to motions on climate and poverty alleviation? Sure, BIJ1 has a better track record, but I'm willing to bet that ... checking now ... when it comes to China 'they' don't perform better than any other party.
