Anyone in Holland know what opposition parties' policies are on the the Wietpas?

I understand D66 and the Greens have publically opposed it and I understand are part of teh caretaker governemnt coalition in order to pass the budget.

Has the Labour Party expressed an opinion on the issue?

In the age of austerity (more VAT/more health insurance/ etc. come October) it doesn't seem wise to try and enforce more laws, what with all the admin and courts etc.

Hopefully a labour-led coalition will repeal. It does need someone less associated with the industry to join the debate though like the Amsterdam Tourist board or hoteliers with the loss of revenue angle.
