‘The anarchists won the elections.’ ‘The peasants have seized power.’ Or was it the Maoist Red Guards? These were some of the reactions once the results were known of the parliamentary elections in the Netherlands on 22 November. The reality was that the Dutch voted massively for a more social course after four years of harsh right-wing governments led by Christian Democratic Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende. As a result, for the first time in post-war Dutch history, the Labour Party’s dominant position on the left is being contested, by the anti-neoliberal left Socialist Party (SP).

“无政府主义者赢得了选举！”“农民掌握了权力！”或者这是毛主义者红卫兵？这些是11月22日荷兰议会选举的一些反应。事实是度过4年以基督教民主党总理Jan Peter Balkenende为首的右翼政府领导下的难受生活之后，荷兰人大而重地将选票投给了一个更加“社会主义”的前途。作为这次选举的结果，工党在左翼占尽优势的地位在战后第一次动摇，取而代之的是反新古典自由主义左翼的社会党（SP）。

The extreme reactions about anarchists and Maoists from the right-wing liberals of the VVD, like long-time Finance Minister Gerrit Zalm, were no surprise. More shocking were attempts by many commentators to treat the SP as the twin of far-right MP Geert Wilders’ Freedom Party, which had a smaller breakthrough with 9 seats, or the small Protestant Christian Union, which grew to 6 seats.

关于无政府主义者和毛主义者的胜利，来自右翼自由主义政党VVD极端的反应，比如长时间的财政部长Gerrit Zalm，是毋庸置疑的。更可怕的是许多评论员尝试将社会党看作已经得到了九个席位的突破的极右下议院议员Geert Wilders的自由党，或者是已经得到六个席位的新教—基督教联盟的同盟军。

The Financieel Dagblad (Financial Daily) wrote, for example, ‘Each in its own way is fighting against the open society being created by European unification and the forces of globalisation. The SP is clinging to the old protective walls of the welfare state and the Christian Union to its own religious identity, while Wilders wants to defend Dutch culture by keeping out all non-Western immigrants.’

财政日报发表评论说：“每一个政党都在用他自己的方式反对欧洲联合和全球化的强制力正在创造的开放社会。社会党正在坚持旧的福利状况屏蔽墙，基督教联盟坚持它的宗教同一，与此同时Wilders希望依靠阻止所有非西方移民的进入来保卫荷兰文化。

The people have spoken, was the prevailing analysis, and the people are conservative, nationalistic and backward. An even more extreme example came from the poet Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer, who voted for the Green Left party: ‘The winners of this election share a repressive, provincial mind-set. They expect little from Europe, and are all too eager to sacrifice freedom of thought to their fear of terrorism.... The Randstad (the urbanised western Netherlands, including Amsterdam, Rotterdam and the Hague) has lost. The peasants have seized power.’
