Problem is unless they become the biggest they will be a second-choice for the big right parties (pvv and vvd). Except for CDA and D66 there isn't a reasonably sized centre party left and they both might remain too small to form a government without at least one of the big right parties (vvd). But who knows, if vvd pvv shrink a lot it will turn the tables.

I like how they are the only party you can vote on in all levels of government, including Europe. Even if they only get 1/2/3 seats next election, I don't see them going away any time soon.
I've seen this because I like Jon Stewart and this is certainly a nice interview about an important topic. But aside from briefly mentioning big techs influence on Brexit Germany's experience with Fascism and Communism (if Germany is the example for experience with communism you can guess how briefly it was mentioned), this interview is entirely about US companies and their influence on US politics. So even though I can recommend this video to anyone interested in that, I did downvote this post because it doesn't belong in this community imo.
Any economists here? I grew up being told 2% inflation is perfect, more is bad and less is bad. I am fine believing that, but does this mean this is bad news? Or is deflation for a short time good after high inflation?
I read the headline and thought this is just an article of crazy shit ai says, then I saw it was from Reuters and got confused. Apparently they mean 'the ai industry' and not 'an ai chatbot' is threatening the eu:
The EU wants to compete with the U.S. and China on artificial intelligence. But critics say policymakers haven't planned for the sector's extreme water demand.
Might have changed the outcome in Poland even, hope this interference will be taken serious.
Is your life full of problems? Call life coach Sauntek Harris now and he'll get it fixed straight away! /s
Apparently these murders happened between 2002 and 2009 so maybe he just felt like doing something else for a change, leave the murdering behind him and became a life coach instead. I guess neither of those require a degree.
They just don't have the cards
When referring to Europe by US media, I totally understand what kind of Europe this article refers to but my point is that geography means something different when talking about Europe and I think that is relevant since for example Hungary or Serbia are in the context of the title part of Europe but are also more and more political 'outsiders'. I think this point similar to someone from Canada that America is not only the US.
Not by EU institutions, but there has been a lot of effort to control various African countries by European countries. Again I don't really know about Spain and Portugal, but it is widely known France has continued to militarily back governments it favoured after they gained independence and also had major economic influence through their currency (more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFA_franc).
I wasn't referring to countries with white minorities, I meant England still holds power (Although not very hard power) over former colonies with white majorities such as Canada, Australia and NZ but much less so in former colonies where the original inhabitants have power (such as India and pakistan).
Yes these countries are their own nations now, but it seems not easy to let go. Not just on a government level but also private wealth and public companies still have business related to colonial times.
We are moving in the right directions but if you were to interview people in these former colonies a lot of them will tell you we are not there yet. Not only is the damage not fully repaired (if this is even possible), there is still influence happening. Although less and less, since for example the current Mali government kicked out the French military in favour of Russian soldiers.
Thanks I'm always a bit skeptical when it comes to big news corps framing financial stuff like this exactly because it can mean very different things for different people. And since I'm not a big corpo myself, I wonder whether they are right or not when talking about the effects on my personal life especially when the situation isn't very extreme. Sounds like a small deflation for a short time doesn't have to be a bad thing if you're not in (high) debt, just like small inflation isn't a bad thing even if you have some savings.
