It isn’t worth the bother. In the Netherlansblack, not only is the best black in the world, but it can also be white.
Why bother at all. You are so convinced and stuck in a rut that any other explanations are wasted.

The UK political system is a mess. A minority party can hold on to power regardless of what it is costing the country while its richest members preserve their wealth at all cost. In the meantime the Official Opposition is unable to make a decision and seems to do nothing else but incessant naval staring. 34 days left.

So are you accepting that members of the public can join political parties in the Netherlands, just as they can in the UK after all? That you were in fact incorrect and that it is just a 'UK thing''?

'You are claiming membership but that is a British concept so keep it to the UK'...to quote you.

Staring at it is a waste of time. The UK's navy is so crippled now, it can't even stock its new aircraft carriers with a full complement of aircraft.

Societies differ as do reasons and methods. Joining means different things but of course the anglo saxon mindset cant accept that; "If it happens here it happens everywhere".

Really? Societies differ? Who knew? I almost forgot by the way - even though the general public can't join political parties according to you, here's an application to join one - as it happens it is a Christian fundie political party who believe the bible should be the basis of your politics. Kind of progressive huh? You live in a wonderful country.

Freedom of speech. They cant discriminate but you can be asked. You dont have the right to join. You can apply.

If only the adversarial Dutch-Anglo mindset could actually explain the difference.
