A new poll shows that 32% of Dutch prefer a return to the Guilder, while 47% favours a Northern Euro, up from 38% six months ago. Meanwhile, Patrick Van Schie, the head of the think tank of the VVD, the party of Dutch PM Mark Rutte, has said that a Northern Euro, without France, should be considered and that a decision on a new currency is needed.And the euro issue hasn't even lifted off yet. Wait till they start really demonstrating and rioting in Greece and Italy when the cuts and reforms start to bite. Let alone when the technocrat interregnums expire and the mainstream politicians return to power. What then?
Dutch media report that, on Friday, Dutch politician Geert Wilders announced that his party, the PVV, will start an investigation into the costs and benefits of re-introducing the Guilder as the Netherlands’ national currency. Depending on the outcome of the investigation, Wilders is planning to propose a national referendum on whether the Netherlands should leave the eurozone.
You can't govern southern Europe like northern Europe. It seems Dutch voters will be paying attention as this latest rubbish strategy collapses.
