Yes, another general election. And a new government bound to be even more shortlived.

Only the first 15 parties are listed

Are we sure that number 10 is alive?  She looks kind of embalmed.

As an engineer I feel obligated to go with the one who most looks like a super villain.  In this case that would be number 13.  It looks like she has the same sort of hideous smile permanently rigged just like the Joker or Nancy Pelosi.

14 looks like either a super nice guy or a psycho. No middle ground. I will take the plunge.

I only know Wilders, but even if I did not know him his terrible hair disqualifies him even in this superficial survey.

Sure, sure, but this is a Dutch election. I need to know the important data - how tall is each Candidate?

Tough choice between "Empty promises in a shiny package" and "Rhetoric over results."  On the one hand, I do like some good rhetoric. On the other hand, who can resist a shiny package?

I could always just go for 13.  Not a big fan of sanctimony, but just about anything can look good in the right suit.
