Claudia van Zanten wrote that the VVD, just like D66 earlier, was seeking conflict with Israel and provoking a war with Russia. She wondered whether the party would soon also come into conflict with the United States. Van Zanten reproached the VVD for not standing up for hard-working Dutch citizens, targeting small savers, not providing financial stability, and doing nothing about the influx of asylum seekers. According to her, voters, departing members, and prominent figures were fed up with the party's and the cabinet's direction. https://t.co/Ut9DHCrph1 #Nederland #politiek #oorlog (translated)

Susanne wrote that parties that had promised stricter asylum measures, including the distribution law contingent on a lower influx, should be punished if they continued to frustrate those measures. According to her, undermining asylum policy should not pay off. She therefore advised voters not to vote for the VVD, D66, or the CDA any longer. She also stated that asylum policy required a credible cabinet and called the cabinet ineffective, despite the strong rhetoric about punishments for frustrating return. #KabinetJetten #Asielbeleid #Asielbeleid #Politiek #Kiesrecht (translated)

Marianne Zwagerman wrote that the VVD, after what she described as a disastrous budget debate, stood at twelve seats in the latest poll by Maurice de Hond. With that, according to her, the party of Dilan Yeşilgöz matched its low point from 2008. Zwagerman stated that the VVD had abandoned its principles in the debate. She also wrote that nearly seven out of ten voters expected, according to the poll, that new elections would not yield a stable government. In a broadcast of *Dwars door de Politiek*, Zwagerman and De Hond would discuss the political options available. Furthermore, she reported that complaints had been filed with the Advertising Code Commission regarding their radio commercials and that on October 16 the case of De Hond against Maarten Keulemans would be heard by the Press Council. On October 8, De Hond would have been an opinion pollster for fifty years. Zwagerman announced that the broadcast could be followed live on Sunday at 8:00 PM via YouTube, Facebook, X, and LinkedIn. https://t.co/NSPlGEhUuA #VVD #Politiek #Verkiezingen (translated)
