    The Netherlands is far less progressive than people think it is. Tolerating something is not the same as condoning or accepting it.

    No one who knows the Netherlands was surprised by Wilders winning a lot of votes in the last election. No one who knows the Netherlands is surprised that it’s taken this long to even think about legalising weed.

      Yup. There’s a reason it’s called “gedoogbeleid” and not “acceptatiebeleid”!
