Hi,
Just to inform you: it is election day in the Netherlands. Polls show
that either the PvdA (moderate socialist party) or VVD (liberals) will
get out as the biggest.
Leader of the PvdA is Diederik Samsom, who was a nuclear physicist and
was an active member of Greenpeace. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diederik_Samsom. He aims to be the next
prime minister.
