Many
coalition party voters regretting their choices
Many people
who voted for one of the four coalition parties now regret their choice, but
none more so than NSC voters. Three-quarters of the people who voted for Pieter
Omtzigt’s party now wish they had made a different choice, Hart van Nederland
reported after surveying 2,131 members of its panel.
A total of
40 percent of all eligible voters are disappointed with their choice now that
they see what is happening with their votes. The regret is highest among people
who voted for the coalition parties.
73 percent
of NSC voters now wish they had voted for someone else. The same is true for 52
percent of BBB voters, 48 percent of VVD voters, and 42 percent of PVV voters.
There is a
lot of dissatisfaction about the asylum compromise that the coalition parties
agreed upon late on Thursday. Over a fifth of PVV voters think that leader
Geert Wilders should have collapsed the Cabinet on this point.
The
compromise itself has the Netherlands thoroughly divided. Of all Dutch voters,
47 percent support the compromise, 46 percent are against it, and 7 percent
have no opinion. Of coalition voters, 54 percent are fine with the compromise,
40 percent are not.
The asylum
measures individually all have majority support. The least popular of the 13
leaked measures, scrapping the Asylum Distribution Law before the end of the
year, has 50 percent of voters behind it. The most popular measure is harsher
punishment for convicted asylum seekers. 87 percent of Dutch people believe
that they should be declared undesirable aliens and deported more quickly.
76 percent
of Dutch also support not allowing family reunification for unmarried partners.
Asylum lawyers have pointed out that this has always been allowed specifically
for LGBTQIA+ asylum seekers, many of whom fled persecution in countries where
they are not allowed to get married.
