Today enabled people from Utrecht choose the new mayor. This is surprising because it takes the Crown (King and minister) is appointed. The choice was between the Labour Party or ... PvdA. Remarkably . Yes, Ralf Pans and Aleid Wolfsen from the same batch.
I do not know the difference. I do not live in Utrecht and for me the campaign was very discreet. I have seen no sign or brochure. Result: a very small turnout at the polls. I just heard on TV that a turnout below 30%. Now the council decide.
For me the most incredible that some Dutch people against the referendum. Yes, they feel they do not have enough expertise to make a choice. I've also heard that argument before the referendum voor Europa. Ik vraag me af
Welk beeld van ze democracy (demos = kratos = regeren Volks) hebben?
Today the inhabitants of Utrecht could choose their mayor. This is surprising because the Netherlands was appointed mayor by the "Crown " (the king and ministers). What was surprising is that the choice was between two candidates of the same party. Yes Ralf Pans and Aleid Wolfsen are PvdA, Labour Party.
The difference I do not see it. I do not live in Utrecht and I have not seen any sign or brochure, to study. For me the campaign was invisible.
The results of races: few people came vote. So the council may decide.
What is remarkable (to me) is that some Dutch people are against referendums. And why? They think it is not their responsibility. I must say that I heard this argument also for Europe.
And then I wonder what image they have of democracy (demos = people, kratos = rule)?
