I've just read an intersesting article in NRC.Next about the impopularity of "Europe" for voters of parties that are labelled by the "traditional" parties as "populistic". In NL those parties are SP, LPF (Pim Fortuyn), TON and PVV. The article makes 2 points;
1 - the traditional parties have -over time- abandoned 40% of the population so these voters are not represented anymore.
2 - Europe offers no good things for these people and only increases their burden.
Has anyone else read it ?
