Just another day on LinkedIn, where some guy publicly claims there’s no far right in Europe — only “extreme left and extreme woke” — and suggests I should have brain surgery to have my “extreme woke left-wing thread” surgically removed. 🤷‍♀️ 🧠

Visualized here. Hot tip for journalists: the real question isn’t why Wilders lost, but why the far right has consolidated — despite Wilders's ineffectiveness in government.

FvD is de grootste partij qua leden. Ze lijken een beetje op de oude massapartijen, die kiezers door ideologie duurzaam aan zich wisten te binden. Naast die loyale achterban heeft FvD ook een nieuwere groep weten te bereiken: vooral gedesillusioneerde PVV-stemmers en niet-stemmers.

🗳️ First exit polls from the Netherlands: Wilders’ PVV appears to shrink from 37 to 25 seats. Make no mistake — the far right remains strong. Support hasn’t disappeared; it’s shifted across parties. The Dutch political landscape is more fragmented than ever — and the far right is no exception. 🇳🇱

💡 Als je dan toch al in gesprek gaat met vertegenwoordigers van extreemrechtse partijen, doe het dan zo als Frank Hendrickx & Sara Berkeljon in de @volkskrant.nl vandaag...

Voor het @montesquieuinst.bsky.social dook ik samen met Gerrit Voerman weer in de verkiezingsprogramma’s van PVV, FVD, JA21 en BVNL. Vier partijen aan de uiterst rechtse flank met veel overeenkomsten én onderlinge verschillen.

This week, we celebrated the official launch of the Institute for Research on Far-Right Extremism (IRex) at the @unituebingen.bsky.social. It was a festive and hopeful occasion - much needed in the current political climate. Thank you to all who came and made it happen. 👏
