The Dutch are particularly interesting to watch. Just 3 days ago, the PM extended the COVID lockdown by 3 weeks... then resigns today.... over a child welfare scandal. Of course there's nothing to see here, right?

66% approval rating? according to who? The Dutch government, the Dutch national broadcaster? The other stations beholden to the government for access? The hired poling agencies by those people? The selected interviewees of liberal cities? The people who signed up participate regularly in those polls of said broadcasters and poling agencies?
