It is indeed difficult to deal with certain parties and form a clear opinion. On the one hand, there are journalists who, in a three-way conversation with one of a party’s leaders, gang up on him, whilst the party representative, unlike ‘the others’, remains calm. Ultimately, what sticks in my mind is that he cut a better figure than the others.

Then there are the posters of a party that tell the story of a cheerful youth with class and humour. What can you really say against a girl in traditional dress who is laughing happily? There is a life again that I wish for young people. And I am certain: that resonates.

In some areas, nearly 50% of voters now believe this party should be given leadership responsibility. The question is therefore not what should be done against this party, or whether it should be banned. The question is: what can we change so that we can win over these 50% and – yes – integrate them. You cannot ignore half the population, as is still the case. The ‘others’ are doing a lot wrong. It is not for nothing that certain groups call themselves ‘identitarians’. They stand for something; you have to give them that. What do the others stand for, what do ‘we’ stand for?

It seems simple when terms like ‘spearhead’ are used. Fortunately, the nationalistic militarism implicit in this is still rejected by large sections of the population. But what is is that it is always the same excerpts from speeches that are shown by the public broadcasters. I would like that to happen, but it won’t work. It is also interesting how one of the leaders can switch, during talks, from a face expressing disgust and arrogance towards others to a mischievous smile when this person considers a comment from the audience to be interesting. At that moment, you ask yourself: is that still the same person? And you realise once again that there is a highly intelligent woman standing on the podium who is consciously controlling everything. And apparently, the disgust shown towards others generates support amongst her own people.

Well, I’m curious to see how things will unfold. Something is afoot. Fear is not what I feel. But I do fear that we will see more and more states turning in on themselves, and that humanity across the globe will fall by the wayside. No one is entitled to more resources than others simply because of where they were born.

Here and there, I can spot trends thought to be dead and buried that might point us back on the right path. I consider a ‘renewed focus on the workers’ to be the right signal. Keep it up! What is, on the other hand, utter nonsense is getting worked up about the occasional job being given to family members, if one is in a position to do so. I’d do the same, wouldn’t you? Even greater nonsense is getting worked up about a “work-life balance”. It would do you good too, Mr Chancellor. I fear your family shares my view on this. But a former BlackRock junkie might not be in a position to do so.
