I know, I know: parliamentary politics won’t save us etc. But I will at least try to vote if I have the chance.
It’s my first time voting from a foreign country. Many of the decisions the parties make won’t have an influence on me. I will vote Bij1 because they at least resemble some sort of a left wing party and some of their members are marxists. Also, their stance on Palestine is the best of any Dutch party. I think I’ll just vote Edson Olf.
Because I like their plans regarding climate change and biodiversity, that is in my view the most pressing issue at the moment. I also think that they will wield greater influence than Bij1, because their views are more readily embraced by the bourgeoisie.
