In 2011, the Piet Hein Donner was, in 2012 and 2013 the coveted award went to Frans Timmermans. Shortlisted this year Diederik Samsom (PvdA), Bram van Ojik (Green), Emile Roemer (SP), Henk Krol (List DILDO) Geert Wilders (PVV), Louis Bontes (VNL), Ronald van Raak (SP) , again Frans Timmermans (PvdA) and Pieter Omtzigt (CDA). Who takes the John Leerdam cup for most useless politician to take home? And which politician gets the von Lippe Biesterfeld Carnation with oak leaves pinned? And most importantly: who drag Bassiehof’s Politician of the Year trophy-hold? You read it after the break.
Gold boost
“Strange fact that never in the recent parliamentary history, somewhere in a corner of the Courtyard, a dynamic reporter was found with his own recording device in the ass “wrote columnist Laureate Peter Middendorp this weekend in his column on the matter Diederik Samson . The Labour leader had almost won the election, decided to stay in the room and when it went wrong. Where spectator hereto hoped flaming dualism of Samson appeared to defend the former activist especially the government’s policy. Of course there was thunder of culminating in the recent Telegraph article. Nevertheless, he managed last week to put the shale discussion at hand. Samson’s last two years has become far too little angry. Please be Diederik Diederik , I paraphrase an episode of The West Wing . The only question is whether there is enough time for it: several daggers are about to be planted deep in D idi’s back. Well, that is not news; no harsher people than the Social Democrats, right? Solidarity is not nothing but a thang.
Detective Columbo Award
Check that posture, the merry locomotion. And if all the questions have been asked yet he walks back to the microphone. “Madam Chairman, I still have one more question.” Bram van Ojik is the Dutch Peter Falk.
The invisible cloak
SP leader Emile Roemer this year was virtually invisible. Theoretically opposition leader should be, but the Bear of Boxmeer is little dividends. Everywhere against not taking part in agreements and offers few alternatives. Has nevertheless horde fighters among themselves who do angrily oppositions. Has the time not help: Most of the other opposition parties, namely busy ‘constructive’ to work with the existing powers and points to the company being awarded in that part Accords (And yes, this is indeed exactly the same text as last year).
Diamond trough (and the John Leerdam cup for most useless politician)
No, Henk Krol . There is no conspiracy to discredit you and your party. Well, you are the dismal clown in your own circus. In addition, you embody everything that politics sometimes makes it so filthy and vile. Stop it here, be gone and retire.
The Golden Geert
He slides gradually but consistently increasing to the right-wing camp and know this to mate to the disappointment of SP and PvdA to by many welcomed partly leftist agenda. Know therefore supported by a great multitude virtual voters. The sorcerer’s apprentice continues to surprise: you think: ‘Here’ ie not over ‘does’ ie it anyway. Is time for the next Process Wilders which the prosecution will have to explain why the police had preprinted declaration forms ready. Celebrates a sad anniversary: ten years trapped in a web of hatred which 24-hour security is necessary. Because he has an opinion. Indeed, the Golden Geert started for the fourth time in a row to Geert Wilders .
t Gold Stijgertje
Louis Bontes . Recycled as former PVV’er some time already known nasty stories from Wilders’ fraction and then the stirring rigorously to throw, he went to work. Operates now with co-informer Joram van Klaveren under the flag of VNL. Both know to get the blood under the nails of the PVV because always just something earlier parliamentary questions that Wilders’ club until recently had a monopoly on: security, terrorism and immigration. Fat chance that he will soon expand his group with a former PVV’er: Roland van Vliet. More importantly, the right-wing agenda Bontes seems to want to perform that Wilders ever furore it was but then lost sight of: lower taxes, more security, less immigration, defense and Europe purely economic cooperation. Plus: Bontes commanded respect by being the only advocate for the use of Special Forces to secure the crash site of the MH17. However, the butter was sol d in that area in The Hague, the concrete poured Dutchman is beyond reproach. Or that famous “hole on the right” does or does not exist: Bontes could fill it with this path might
Von Lippe Biesterfeld Carnation with oak leaves
. quiet, unassuming but additionally amiable strength of the Socialists. Thinker party with great interest in politics, philosophy and religion. Also gifted columnist. But Ronald Touch is especially the thorn in the side of Minister of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, Ronald Plasterk. Criticism of telecom providers who work with foreign intelligence and also parliament and Cabinet equipped with phone contracts, dealing with the mafia practices in the Overseas Territories, cuts to the AIVD, reopening of the investigation into the murder of Theo van Gogh; every time one Ronald waving his red fist, the other reluctantly comes to the Chamber to Van Raak’s wish to accede. Is also one of the few MPs who are interested in the issue of Prince Bernhard. Did this year, a significant minority consisting of D66, PVV, 50Plus, Green Left and the Party for the Animals to rally behind him to investigate the links between Prince Bernhard and intelligence. Plasterk wants to exclude files but can not without the consent of Van Raak, it comes down to.
t Loden Dalertje
Twice in a row he was Bassiehof’s Politician of the Year but the hat-trick was not to be. French “The Sob ‘Timmermans because fell thundering down from his pedestal only to be pierced by his own sword. Tried consistent failure of the government in the MH17 file ab initio by disguising grand & amp; compelling speeches. However grandiose fell by the wayside when Jeroen Pauw through to mention a face mask. Trunk temper, vanity and egotism features the politician often Timmermans put these three sins but in his display cabinet and polished them on a daily basis. In fact, when it appeared that his statement to the UN Security Council that was a wedding ring stolen from a victim of no side any good, he censored afterwards his own text. Hold next fervently desired position of European Foreign Minister, may impose future on the Rue de la Loi (Rue de la Loi, “Timmer French would say) gin and tonic ’s pouring for Jean-Claude Juncker. Timmermans scholar Arthur van Amerongen concluded earlier this year in more than excellent written profile Frans Timmermans: the man, the myth, “Frans Timmermans is a narcissist with a (Limburg) inferiority complex, struggling with uncontrollable tantrums.” Hear, hear
Which brings us now to the question of who the winner is:
Bassiehof’s Politician of the Year-jar
Last year ‘t Golden Stijgertje, now the prize: Pieter Omtzigt of course. Oak Enschede, He Who The Mother of Secretary Wiebe Showed Crying, Christian Multitasking Mayhem , the parliamentary questions Cannon, man smiling to outdated concepts like “A day has 24 hours, ” sleep ‘or “This is your portfolio and you will have to live with.” Does all probability about the supernatural power of bi-location, there are strong indications that Omtzigt sometimes performs two debates at the same time and also further emits a radio interview. Here a tweet, a blog there, elsewhere parliamentary question and then huppakee: discussed. Ma Wiebe weep, shout filling station, Turkey gasped, Isis shocked, Joris Demmink see hidden in the basement and pensioners in him the ideal son. It should be clear:
Opposition write with the O Omtzigt
