Holy crap. That looks like half the country.
- Estimates range between 150.000 to 200.000 at the high end.
  So around 1 in every 100 Dutch people showed up.
Looks like the US sucks in comparison.
We have the government we deserve.
- You have a system that is mostly based on gentlemans agreements from a time when most of them were slave traders/owners.
  Similar to the British system, if a cunt gets into power, there's no real safeguards against them acting cuntishly because it's a system based on gentlemen agreements amongst the descendants of the Norman aristocracy
  
  As a British citizen, we've certainly ejected cunts from power.
  The big difference between our system and the US system is that the US system is codified in a single document and as a result it doesn't evolve except through rare amendments. The British constitution is written through precedent. If a situation hasn't occurred before then we decide what to do today. We don't try to take the 250yo (or more) words of people who had never imagined the situations of today and try to apply the right to bear arms on AI powered kamikaze drones.
