Dutch General Elections - Sept. 12, 2012 (updated poll)

[NedFlanders]

@ marco. how many seats are needed for a majorityß i thougt 76?

[Hazy Neville]

VVD PvdA coalition ?

[NedFlanders]

looks like this is the most likely coalition - i think bad news for us

[Svstoned]

I'm not getting any of that shit! godamnamyte!

[AmNeSiA22488]

What happens if PvdA and VVD form a coalition? Are we safe if that does not happen?

It's unbelievable how in one of the original countries to embrace freedom, liberty, tolerance and exeptance, you have turned away from your founding princables.......sad...well This might be the last time I spend a euro in the Netherlands .....The next time I wanna blow 3 grand, I'll get a mmj card from Cali and just go to San Fran.........Jesus this pisses me off, I was always so envious of the city and country but your just as fucked up as America I guess...worse even, don't you understand it's just a matter of time before your right to smoke is taken away too......

The truth is every American who loves cannabis and has made the trip to your country has wanted to live there.. Because it made us feel welcomed and embraced and accepted...now suddenly we feel like Jews made to wear the Jewish star after the nazis took holland....I've seen those pictures at the Ann frank house of Jews made to feel like second class humans....it's kind of an extreme but this is the policy your nation has embraced.....remember it started with stars ,then it was taking homes and businesses , then it was their lives they came for........as a pot smoker I feel like I'm about to be given a star to wear...........I know critics are saying"you don't have to come here"..that's true I do not.....nor will I if I'm treated like I'm not welcomed....nor will thousands like me......

I'm still hoping common sense finds its way to light, even if it's just for Amsterdam...but that's still fucked up beyond belief...let's just make everyone outside the city feel like second class humans........my opinion of your country has dropped considerably........


Peace and love

remember the Pvda is against the weedpass...
the "against weed pass partys" have more votes than the right partys...
no party will make a coalition with the PVV from Wilders...
so nothing is clear

[donpacino]

If weed pass goes through then it is shit....but you can still smoke in bars etc so you could always buy your eeedof the street and smoke in bars etc. I know it would not be ideal (i get the whole freedom element and loss of liberty etc) but you could still have a good time over there.

Scoring of the street aint gonna be hard either, when i was over in August i got offered "cheaper" weed a few times. What the quality will be though i dont know, a friend of mine bought some Super Siler Haze a couple of years ago and he said the quality of it was easily as good as a coffeeshop and he only paid €7 for the gram. There will be so many dealers about you could always just check it before you buy.

[mrdcotor]

After today's election I have here the 1st update for you guys, the 2 party's that got the most votes are the right wing party that invented the weed pass and our biggest left wing party that is opposed to the weed pass. The votes haven't all been counted yet, these are just exit polls! At the moment the right wing party is the biggest with 41 seats in the house vs. the left wing party with 39. So it seems that whether they want it or not they will almost surely have to work together into forming a government. It then all depends on the coalition negotiations and if the left wing party is willing to fight for the exit of the weed pass. If they find other issues more important and 'give' the weed pass to the right wing party it is all over. So let's hope and pray!

Doesn't sound like good news. It seems it will be a constant battle no matter what. Eventually the weed pass will take place. Only a matter of time imo. Whether that be in January or 20 years.

[mrdcotor]

the right wing party that invented the weed pass

But they have also this:

Maybe Amsterdam as a weed-pass free zone?

[Veggie]

You can have that and more in San Francisco...I was there a week ago and scored some purp kush just outside the park not 50 feet from cops.. Everyone smokes out in the open in that city. Too....haight and ashbury is a very liberated place....but it didn't compare to Amsterdam for people who live some where else and want to enjoy your city,,,,until now.....I guess my last trip is in oct.......

You at truly an idiot to compare this to Nazism or the Holocaust. Maybe the Dutch are right to be fed up with tourists who think like you.
