“Being Dutch, living in the city where Pim Fortuyn has caused a landslide in the city council after the last local elections, having been on the university where Fortuyn was forced to give back his professor title at the time I was studying there, I have to say you emphasize a very small and rather unimportant aspect of his victory march through Holland. The man is unable to set up any government at all. Period. He’s not hijacking the postmodern left, he’s a populist – he’s postmodern in a sense he’s got no direction at all but just the opposite direction of wherever the winds blows.” – from a Dutch reader. This – and your take on Alterman on the Letters Page.
