The Netherlands held a snap parliamentary election on October 29, 2025, revealing the deep crisis of bourgeois democracy and political stalemate in Europe.
The election represents a reshuffling of power among the ruling elite, rather than addressing the urgent interests of the masses, amidst mounting social, economic, and geopolitical turmoil.
The election outcome is not "a renewal of liberal democracy" but a managed reconfiguration of a ruling elite desperate to stabilize a collapsing bourgeois order.
