Lousewies van der Laan
The modern Fruit Republic

Forget about banana republics in Africa, instable governments exist far closer to home. Just consider the orange constitutional monarchy show-casing three failed parliaments in a row, this time over the Verdonk-Ayaan debate. It took them a while, but D66 apparently concluded that they in the end didn't like Verdonk's circus. Verdonk refused to step down, and Lousewies van der Laan blew up our government (politicians 3 - Hofstadgroep 0).
Back to the election booth during fall, then.
