For those who support the introduction of #proportionalrepresentation in the UK, the post-election coalition building in the #Netherlands will be instructive on how a country with PR deals with a significant minority hard right party.
In UK, the far right has had a major impact on the #Tories with much of their agenda explicitly & implicitly integrated into the party's stance.
Would PR allow that to be clearer & possibly easier to reverse as public opinion changes?
Some interesting lessons?
