Holanda: El Partido Laborista copado por los imigrantes

Los laboristas están metiendo turcos y moros de paquete en los lugares bajos de las listas,  pero, como los votantes tienen cierta posibilidad de elección dentro de las listas, han salido muchos elegidos y ahora los «socialistas de toda la vida» (abuelo obrero, padre sindicalista y tío «liberao») se están mirando unos a otros con cara de sorpresa (The Natives Are Restless):

ENSCHEDE, 06/03/10 — Immigrant voters provided important support for Labour (PvdA) in Wednesday’s local elections, but this support is now causing unrest among PvdA council members who are losing their jobs to immigrant candidates.

The majority of immigrants voted for the PvdA. They generally choose a compatriot. As a result, Turkish and Moroccan candidates put at unelectable levels on the party candidate lists were nonetheless elected in Wednesday’s elections. Thanks to a large number of preference votes from compatriots, they elbowed aside the white candidates above them on the lists.

In Helmond, five out of the six PvdA council members will now be of immigrant origin, Eindhovens Dagblad newspaper reported. The biggest surprise is number 21 on the list, Nacati Kaygisiz, a policeman of Moroccan origin.

The local PvdA leader is also an immigrant, Seyit Yeyden, but he is not happy with this development. “Let’s face it: it is not a good mix this way. A number of outstanding candidates have now been elbowed out. We also have no woman in the party. But still, the voter decides.”
