Michiel 2005 has posted:

The third Tuesday of September is Budget Day, so the minister of finance puts on his morning suit and presents the budget to parliament. It was probably the last performance of Jan Kees de Jager, as his party (CDA) lost in the recent elections and is not expected to be part of the new government.

He is a historian and he gave commentary during the Throne Speech ceremony which was so sycophantic, that he must want an honour or has just gotten one.

Lights of cars are reflected by these revolving reflectors and shine into the forest, so that animals don't cross the road.

The cities and towns put up these poster boards for political parties during election times. The voters sometimes express their opinion, which is nice.

Dutch parliamentary elections 2012 – Do you still believe them?

This is mr. Sybrand Buma, leader of the Christian Democrats. They used to be big, with an absolute majority in parliament from 1917 to 1967, but it all went downhill from then. The churches are empty too.

Michiel 2005 has posted:

This is mr. Slob. If you think this is an unfortunate name, consider that we had a prime minister who was called mr. Kok. Now mr. Kok was in London once, together with the CEO of the Dutch telecom company who was called mr. Dik, for a diplomatic occasion. Must have been fun when mr. Kok and mr. Dik from the Netherlands were introduced. Too bad mr. Slob wasn't there.

Anyway, mr. Slob is the leader of a small Christian party. He wants shops to close on Sundays.

Dutch parliamentary elections 2012 – Samsom: Bilderberg & Corrupt

Michiel 2005 has posted:

This is mr. Samsom, leader of the Socialists. As his hair has disappeared, the campaign team thought it wise to cut the picture at the top. Let's hope he hasn't lost his brain too. He used to be a Greenpeace activist with a short temper. The defacer accuses him of being in the hands of the Bilderberg conference and of being corrupt.
