Today my adopted country goes to the polls in the most emotionally charged general election since WW2. Since right-populist Pim Fortuyn was assassinated in a hail of bullets feelings have been running high.

We've witnessed;riots in The Hague; a Princess Di-style grieving and funeral; TV journalists beaten up; the leaders of leftist parties accused of being accomplices in murder; death threats; all campaigning cancelled; and the prospect of a group of unknown amateurs, a beheaded one-mans-band, on an fierce anti- immigrant platform, becoming part of the next government.

Though the outcome is unpredictable the man above, leader of the Christian Democrats Jan Peter Balkenende is looking a good bet to be next PM. As I just know the ILE massive is watching with baited breath a few links to make you look that little bit more informed when discussing this over tea and muffins this evening.
